Big 4 consulting intern to strategy t2/MBB FT

Landed internship offer couple months ago for big 4 consulting in pretty minimally strategy-oriented role (think PWC not S&, EY not EYP, Deloitte not S&A). Interesting work, good pay, great benefits, good coworkers, great location. I would be happy to end up here after graduation.

But wondering if anyone knows how easy it would be to lateral to strategy consulting FT? Is this possible? is it easy to get interviews? I got to target, 3.7, involved on clubs, have connections at most firms. Is there anything I can do to better to my profile? Has anyone else made the jump? I've heard it's much harder after graduating.
