It depends on the region. GMAT score could be relevant for some offices / regions, and they may ask for your grades too. But generally they look more at the brand of your Business School rather than at the grades or extra-curricular.

Not grades because of non disclosure

Extra curricular definitely matter in getting past the CV screening stage, as well as prior work experience

Pedigree in previous positions obviously

MBB loves weirdos. Guess that explains why you’re at EY.

If you are also ridiculously smart and can wax poetic about your favorite German films or your Witcher III build, yes. My favorite partner was a lgbtq goth vegan with purple hair who worked exclusively with the DoD and they were a total baller.

You are important to the project, but never so important that you cannot leave the project or firm for better opportunities. Being in hero mode is good where you save the day, everyday - but in fact that is neither advisable for your progression nor a recommended practice for the firm. If you have been performing and have had decent social skills, you will not have burnt a bridge when you leave.
