Horrible GPA, but Spring Intern Experience at Bain... How do I max my potential?

I'm attending Bocconi University as a Bachelor, but my GPA is not the best (83%). However, I did manage to partake in a Spring Internship at Bain, and I do have pretty good past work experience before that. I am worried that my GPA will negatively affect my opportunities, despite my experience. How do I maximize my potential if I am aiming for a position at a consulting company?
