Take off summary, put education first. Is that your only work experience? Your GPA is pretty low for McKinsey...I honestly think you should shoot a bit lower.

I interviewed with all three MBB...

Does M recruit on your campus?

If not--

You'll be competing with kids from top ivies and business programs with 3.9+ GPAs with experience in banking, equity research, etc. and (because McK alumni went to these schools) these students will definitely have a one-up networking-wise as well.

As is, unfortunately, you have no chance. If this is your dream, delay graduation and dual-major, bring the GPA up to at least 3.75, and add one legit finance internship.

Agree with everything so far.

You have the right idea with the bullets you have, but they need more clarification. Someone who has no idea about any of that stuff should be able to understand what you did and why it matters.

The 1+ years looks silly. Its not enough time to worth mentioning.

Definitely look lower tier if you want to do consulting. Find something that you are passionate about (Bioengineering related?) and try and find a firm that works on that. This will be tough to find. A lot of smaller, specialized firms are ex-industry people. That being said, you will excel more if you enjoy the work. This will come through in B-School apps. A good B-School may then get you in to McKinsey.

I have friends with 3.8 from a target who didn't get McKinsey interviews. (20 interviews out of how many thousand people)

Interviewed at all MBBs for summer, interned and have an offer from one.
