Wow. McKinsey, which has the biggest public sector presence of the MBB, really hasn't been doing too hot at all in the sector.
Its presence is tiny and it's gotten even smaller. Meanwhile it's bungling whatever opportunities it's getting.

Sorry Deloitte. You are wrong. GMAT is absolutely used as a barometer. And yes you can get in without a lower gmat score but definitely used as a filter.
I personally didn’t get an interview for internship bc no having a 700 score. Later I got the interview for FT recruiting bc I networked and had a couple people push my name in for interview. But still it was expressed as a “concern”.
This filter might be used more for schools between t10-t25. T20 school grad here.
Do I think is dumb? Yes, I am living proof of that it does not matter. And now helping recruiting, i try to avoid it or just use it as a point in the application and not a filter. But still it is used widely as a filter.
I know you didn’t ask but in case you look at IB, it matters a lot
No. No one cares what your score is after you get into B school
This is false. They also care about your GPA and SAT. Now obviously, them liking you and interviewing is a heavier weight. But they def care or they wouldn’t ask for it on the applications.
