Strategy Consulting FT Roles after MBA without being a Summer Associate

Here to get an idea on whether one would be able to break into strategy consulting/corporate strategy roles without any prior exp. and zero summer associate exp. out of a top tier(T15) university primarily known for its reputation in producing high quality management consulting grads. TO be specific, talking about University of Michigan, Ross School of Business. 

Asking since I am an international and my visa situation does not permit me to work on an internship while I am studying. Looking for some real and genuine advice.
