Hope for a consulting internship?

First of all, is UVa considered a target for consulting firms like BCG, Accenture or Deloitte?

Also, will a GPA of 3.75 in Aerospace Engineering be sufficient for a shot at an internship? Will it improve my chances or be almost irrelevant past the chance at an interview?

Thanks.
