Leveraging GMAT to MBB

From what I’ve read, having a strong GMAT can be a big factor in post-MBA MBB recruiting. Can a high GMAT score also help with recruiting pre-MBA? If so, how would you leverage your score?

For some context, I’m from a non-target (for consulting, semi-target for finance) with a 740 (skewed a little toward the verbal side). Was wondering how much my GMAT would help me and whether it would at least get my foot in the door for interviews.
