Desperately seeking a job in consulting or venture capital

Probably too late to open such topic, but now I am really desperate as I was dinged after the 2nd round McKinsey interview and haven't been invited anywhere else.
I have a really strong and interesting profile, but non-target university + I am an international student with no network in US...
Don't know what to do now.Going back home is not an option, but on the other hand I almost have no time to find a normal consulting job...I also did two internships in venture capital while studying, but that field is even harder to break into.
Any advice is appreciated.
