Hi all -
I’m currently a sophomore looking for a management consulting internship for the summer. I’d really appreciate any pointers from forum members on how to go about landing one.

Some information about me:

-sophomore at one of the top universities in the country (Think: Harvard/Yale)
-majoring in philosophy, but with coursework in math, statistics, econometrics
-GPA: 3.7
-interned at a bank summer of freshman year
-no consulting experience
-expertise in journalism/publishing [internships, campus officer positions for both business and editorial side]

I’m obviously not hoping for the top three (McKinsey, BCG, Bain), but I was wondering if it’ll be possible to land an internship with any smaller ones. Does anyone have any experience or advice?

thanks in advance:)
