How much does pre-law credentials factor into clerkships?

My old roommate is a 2L at a T10, and made top 10% the first year. But, she was also a splitter before LS (174/2.4) and went to a large public school. Will her poor undergrad performance be held against her? If so, to what degree? She wants a federal judicial clerkship, maybe even SCOTUS.
