Network for getting in

I know an EM at McKinsey and a Principal at Deloitte- does knowing people do anything for consulting, or is that just IB? What advantage do I have with these? Both went to my highschool (top-ranked private, ~25 kids per grade) and I am friends with their relatives. Should I pursue the relationships more?
