Does McKinsey on your resume increase your chances to get into M7 MBA?

Does anyone know if McKinsey or other top consulting firms really increase your chances for getting into M7 MBAs? Specifically HBS or CBS?

My undergrad was a non target and my GPA wasn’t that great.

Am I done for?

Thank you, any insights will be much appreciated!
