Target/Semi-target Junior Undergrad w/ 3.5 GPA no luck landing Consulting interviews, what to do?

I am a junior studying in a top 20 uni's b-school w/ 3.5 GPA majoring in management/marketing. Applied to many 2nd tier firms/big 4, no interview, not to mention 1st tier firms. I have had 4 internship experiences, 2 of them being at a 1st tier consulting firm in Asia and a well-known market research company. I wasn't having high hopes but am really discouraged by the fact that I couldn't even land first-rounds. Any advices? Thank you!
