@COH123: By applying.

Not particularly hard if you get a decent GPA and some interview skills. Another factor is the percentage hired from your school vs other schools in the area, this helps a lot. They do not necessarily just pick who they feel is best amongst all schools. They try to select a certain number of hires from specific schools.

It is a lot easier to get in PwC/KPMG/EY. For reference see statistics on interns hired, and full time hired vs applicants (may have to adjust total applicants accordingly as it includes its consulting business).

Deloitte & Touche profile for young professionals: BusinessWeek Deloitte
PricewaterhouseCoopers profile for young professionals: BusinessWeek PwC
Ernst & Young profile for young professionals: BusinessWeek EY
KPMG profile for young professionals: BusinessWeek KPMG

3.2 at UVA is decent I guess, there are a lot of factors in the hiring process. But it's about the minimum, it'd say the complete cutoff is 3.0. 3.5+ is a very safe bet.
