What should I do?

I am currently a rising junior at a non-target university. I am currently in the middle of my summer internship but it is not related to finance (it's HR). I have a GPA of ~3.75 along with certificates from WSO and I have passed the SIE exam. I am interested in consulting internship for the 2024 Summer but I am not sure if I am qualified since I do not have any finance internships. I am wondering if it would be advisable to get a finance-related internship during the 2024 Summer and then apply for Full-Time hire after completing my undergrad in May 2025. I am sure that having a finance internship would help me if I decided to exit consulting so that is why I am debating this. If you have any suggestions to build my resume more to make it easier to break into consulting it would be much appreciated.

Management Consulting Model/Case Study Review

“Abbas gave me exactly the kind of feedback I needed before a restructuring take-home case. He reviewed my practice workbook in detail, confirmed that my working capital, revolver, minimum cash, and borrowing base work was on track, and then pushed me to go deeper: explain the causes behind the numbers, show the cash runway before jumping to sensitivities, break revenue into its drivers, and support every chart with Excel. He also shared practical operational levers like inventory turnover, demand planning, and pricing, and gave candid advice on making a deck look polished and professional. Beyond the session, he generously introduced me to someone in his network and shared a timed practice case. He is thoughtful, direct, and genuinely invested in his mentees. I’d highly recommend him.”

Management Consulting Mock Interview

“I had an extremely valuable experience with my WSO mentor. The mock interview helped me identify my strengths and weaknesses while giving me a clearer understanding of how to improve my behavioural interview skills. I particularly appreciated the constructive feedback, practical advice, and specific recommendations on structuring and delivering stronger answers. The mentor was knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping me improve. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone preparing for finance interviews.”
