Does McKinsey Connect lead to early interviews?

I applied to McKinsey Connect's undergraduate diversity programs -- specifically Ignite, the women's half-day leadership seminar. I was wondering if selection for this seminar might mean priority consideration for interviews at all? It does not say anything on the site, but they had me take the Solve exam to attend the program. For added context, I attend a university that sends a lot of students to the MBB, but I am not sure if it is fully a McKinsey target school.
