3.4 GPA, State School - Can anyone recommend boutique consulting firms?

I'm a current junior studying Industrial Engineering in the Honors Program at a state school, looking to pursue consulting. I have a cumulative GPA a bit below 3.4, and a major GPA of 3.6. My top choice for an internship would be Deloitte, but due to my schools non-target status, only about 5 interns are taken (according to the recruiters I got in contact with) - I suspect it might be tough for me. I was considering interning at a boutique firm this summer, and then trying for FT at a more "brand name" firm next year - can anyone suggest some places to check out? So far, I've applied to Charles River Associates, ZS, and Navigant.

Hey there. Firstly consider that CRA and ZS aren't boutiques so it might be hard to apply to those from scratch but you never know. Some boutiques I can think of are:

Advancy Alpha FMC Argon Baringa Partners Blue Ridge Partners Bovill Brattle Group Candesic Carnall Farrar Catenion Consulting Chapuis Halder CIL Consulting ECSI Consulting Eden McCallum Egremont Group Elixirr Estin & Co Everest Group Galt & Co Goetz Partners Hampleton Integration Kaiser Associates Kurt Salmon Leigh Fisher Mansfield Advisors Mars & Co Moorhouse OC&C Oxera PPL SSA & Company Stella Capital Advisors Stern Stewart & Co Valeocon Tefen Vivaldi Group

I think most or all should have US offices so give those a go.
