How is SAT/ACT factored into the MBB campus recruiting process? Does this test score make or break one’s candidacy? Wondering if a low SAT but solid GPA w/ good brand names and leadership experience will be good enough to get an interview

It comes into play for non-target candidates, typically.

SAT is not factored into the recruiting process...

For undergrad: It's not important compared to whether you're at a target school, GPA, leadership, work experience. For MBA: Irrelevant.
