These colleges have their career counseling crews and alumni networks working for them.[/quote]

Test scores are also important to McKinsey, particularly for recruiting of international students.  They recognize that not every talented kid is at HYPS but can bring them in to interview if they look good on paper [/quote]

Which test scores?[/quote]

well, a family member-- who had something like a 3.95 out of 4 average at a large state university as well as several (4 or 5?) years of work experience at a different consulting firm was getting recruited by mckinsey (i think-- it may have been bain or bcg) and had to submit SAT scores.  This was probably 10 years ago.  (Incidentally,  a practically perfect GPA, crazy 'extracurriculars/leadership' and several years of work experience with seriously exemplary reviews at a competitor firm could not compensate for mediocre SAT scores. The in-house recruiter dropped her like a hot potato after getting the sat scores.   So, unless it changed-- they really valued SAT scores.[/quote]

Do they superscore or want to see all your scores.  This is a question for all these types of companies, not just McKinsey.  I have heard about this from others.  I have a cousin that was a recruited athlete and Phi Beta Kappa from a top ten non ivy and ran into this road block in IB.[/quote]
