Very interesting research experiment conducted on investment banks, law firms and management consulting firms on the hiring behaviors of evaluators.
This link offers highlights of the actual research:

Main Highlights:
- Most applications practically go straight in the trash
- Evaluators have a lot of slack
- Super-elite credentials matter much more than your academic record
- Super-elite schools matter because they're strong signals, not because they're better at building human capital
- At least in this elite sample, I'm totally wrong to think that extracurriculars don't matter
- Grades do matter somewhat, but mostly as a cut-off. They're a signal of work ethic more than IQ
