McKinsey SBA Office Competitiveness

I'm planning on applying to McKinsey's Summer Business Analyst program for 2025 and am curious about office competitiveness. Are bigger offices significantly more competitive than smaller ones? This is both for getting an actual interview and maybe what is considered good performance in the interviews themselves, between NYC especially and offices like DC/LA. I'd also imagine that bigger offices have more applicants but larger intern classes. Can anyone provide color on this?
