Healthcare Consulting Internships with a Biology major

I am a sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania studying Biology. I originally wanted to go into medicine but now I'm on the fence, and I'd like to explore healthcare/biotech consulting as an alternative. The thing is, I feel it's a little late in the app season for internships and my experience is almost entirely research-oriented with little business, so I'm not sure if I will be able to land something this year. Advice on how to proceed with this process, what to specifically shoot for, etc? I have a 3.4 GPA for what it's worth.

Don't know anything about undergrad consulting recruiting, but as a BS biochemistry, MBA, future healthcare consultant, forget medschool and don't look back.
