should i give up on banking and do consulting

i am a student from a target with a 4.0 gpa. i've gotten to superdays from some good banks but haven't converted any offers yet. at this point, i'm wondering whether it's worth it to keep trying for banking and aim for a lower middle market bank or just try consulting given my gpa and school since i'll have a better shot. trying to do asset management long term i think. happy to hear thoughts/advice

What is the process like for consulting? Wouldn’t they be wrapping up their interview cycle around now as well?
