College Student Seeking Advice

Hello everyone,

My name is Steven, and I am a new user on WSO. After digging through the internet searching various consulting companies and careers I stumbled upon this website and decided to sign up.

I am setting my eyes upon the consulting industry, and would like to get either Strategy and Operations or Tech.

I have a very strong GPA, am getting my undergraduate degree in Finance, have strong letters of recommendation and extra curriculars. The only obstacle I am facing is that I attend a non-prestigious state school with a lack luster rating.

Any suggestions?
