“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
yes. It's a job, they don't care about your gmat score as long as it's not awful
Yes, although I'll caveat that they care more about GMAT/SAT/ACT, as well as your GPA, than any other profession.
Yes. Got an interview and fucked it up but I was asked to put it on my resume and it was fine.
Congrats on Booth! I hope you're enjoying your last few weeks of summer by kicking back or traveling.
I've never been in the room when consulting firms are making decisions about who to interview, but have plenty of anecdotal evidence that points to a 710 being sufficient for MBB recruiting. If you're skeptical, you can do your own research via career services in a few weeks.
Good luck with everything. I'm sure our paths will cross in the next few months.
Apparently they get excited about 700 and higher scores, I wouldn't worry if I were you.
