Do I Have a Chance to get Into MBB ?

I go to to a nontarget undergraduate school and have a 3.5 overall GPA/ 4.0 major GPA. I'm also a double major in Accounting and Management Information systems with a minor in Economics. I interned this past summer at EY in their advisory group.

I recently got into MLT (Minority program) and BCG, Bain, and Accenture are corporate partners. That means these companies will specifically select the top students from MLT and give them an opportunity to interview.

By recruiting season I will be ready in terms of case studies. I have also been cold emailing people at BCG, Bain, and McKinsey. I've have been trying to network as much as possible.

Is there a real opportunity for me to get a summer internship at these companies with my current GPA? If not, should I just get a Tier 2 consulting internship and then leverage that experience and apply for a full-time position at McKinsey, Bain, or BCG? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You're definitely putting in the work so it might happen- keep networking and prepping hard. That being said, getting an MBB internship is brutally competitive even for Ivy kids, so realistically you're more likely to go the T2 -> MBB full time route (which is fine! plenty of people don't get an MBB internship and still go there full time, which is what matters at the end of the day).
