GMAT Score when applying to internships and jobs at a consulting firm (specifically Boston, Bain and McKinsey)

I know The top MBA programs accept a GRE score instead of a GMAT but how important is having a GMAT Score when applying to internships and jobs at a consulting firm (specifically Boston, Bain and McKinsey)? Does applying with a GRE score when aiming for an MBB make the application look inconsistent or under-researched?
