Skills necessary to become at Consultant at a BIG 4 Firm

Tulane University for UG in History
Carnegie Mellon - Public Policy and Management

No internships in Consulting, though I was on the Executive Board of the Heinz Consulting Club, Vice President of the Heinz Analytics Club, and an Associate Consultant with a student organization that completed an M & A project for an investment holding firm.

I have practiced the cases, and understand them very intuitively. I have competed in case competition ran by Deloitte, and Accenture. What else might I need to really stick out?

Didn't get any offers from boutiques or the BIG4. I'll try again in a year.
