IB SA to Consulting FT

Hello everyone! Background: At an Ivy, junior interning in IB this summer at a BB, GPA below 3.3 and I have a big role in a consulting club at my school. How should I navigate trying to leverage my IB experience into MBB consulting recruitment for full time? Any advice? Especially with the low GPA. Perfectly happy doing IB as a FT but dream job would be in consulting so why not give it my best shot.
