Econ Consulting (AG/Cornerstone/NERA) FT GPA?

I'm a senior at a target school in a quantitative double major interested in Econ consulting for FT, specifically at the three firms listed above. I interned at GS for two summers in their IB division, but frankly didn't like the culture or the work or the hours and want to go to law school at some point any way, so felt econ consulting would be better for me.

my issue-- my transcripts and GPA. My GPA is between a 3.7 and 3.8, and my transcripts, while detailing quantitative Math/CS/econ/stat classes I took, has a good number of fluffy language and liberal arts classes, plus one W (withdraw) from a class. I'm super concerned about even getting a first round interview with these firms, since I feel like a lot of people I know who got jobs at AG/Cornerstone/NERA from my school were phi beta kappa, or had like 4.0s.

Anyone know what the GPA landscape is like for these roles, esp given my majors and my two years of BB job experience?

thanks!
