Low MBA GPA - how to overcome to get into Consulting?

Undergrad (Science), Masters Tech (High GPA for the country in which I did it), Low GPA (2.95) MBA from Top 15 MBA program. Exp: Worked / Studied / Lived in 3 countries. (Tier 1 Tech Company for > 5 years prior to MBA, started my own venture in a different country to support myself while doing MBA screwed up both MBA and business), Post MBA worked at Tier 1 Tech (High Growth) Company again for less than 1 year. Had to accept the job to recover financially , saved almost 50% of my salary in 1 year. Now I am itching to take a plunge once more and change to consulting.

How do I go about getting into consulting? Boutique or anything really.
