There are countless HYP kids with strong GPAs who get rejected every year...you can get an opportunity to interview, but from then on, your case performance is what matters.

Slow day at the office, thought it would be a good time for my first post (lurking since ibankingoasis).

Full Disclosure, not at an MBB nor a management consultant.

Anyway, I graduated from a target with a non-traditional major, so when I was "networking" I often sought out those with majors like history, English, etc. I would always ask how they addressed their major during recruiting. The best answer I got was from a history major, and I think applicable to your situation. He used to tell recruiters, " ...as a history major it was my job to aggregate large amounts of data and then analyze that data, factoring in things like environment, to form a conclusion. As a consultant, that is the crux of what I will we doing."

I think you could modify that apply to business journalism. At the end, just throw in something about how the skills you acquired (lot of data--> what's important) are transferable but you want to be be making corporate strategy, not reporting on it.
