DESPERATE HELP, MBB WORTHY!!

Hey guys,
I'm currently a master student in Industrial Engineering at GATECH. ALL MBB come on campus. my gpa is 3.7, have tons of EC, just took the GMAT (710), i'm fluent in french and i'm a minority( African-American).
1.) what are my chances of landing a MBB consulting internship?
2.) will my age(25) hurts me?
3.) Should i retake the GMAT, or 710 is enough( I took it without practice)??
Thank you all for your help!!

Age won't hurt you.

(1) Network to get interviews - it's a big misconception that MBB only takes high-GPA candidates - just like with I-banking, you'll find that some of the people get in through connections or aggressive networking (and strong, but not extremely impressive academics).

(2) Practice case studies - most of my friends in college who landed MBB jobs bought multiple casebooks and went through each a few times. You have to be extremely fluent and comfortable with going through a case.

(3) Your GMAT score could be better, but I'd focus on (1) and (2) above. Retake if you have time.
