target grad not impressive enough for top consulting?

Hey guys! I know a recent grad who is trying very hard to join consulting (ok it's me). I feel I got everything at just ok level but not as IMPRESSIVE as top consulting firms are looking for. Can you take a look at my background and provide whatever comment/advices/critique you have? Thanks a lot guys!

  • Ivy/ GPA 3.7/ Master/ Not business or engineering major/ GRE V87%+ M98% /
  • three internships in city agencies in NYC/
  • thesis performing analysis on huge amount of data using different coding and analyzing tools
  • projects with exposure to real estate, transportation, and economic development
  • founder of three non-profit organizations at undergrad school
  • no professional work experience between undergrad and grad school
  • some athlete experience 10 years ago...

I feel a lot of students have same level of experiences or even much better than mine. Should I turn to lower-tier firms or keep on leveraging what I have at hand and see if I'm the lucky one?
