How to get from nowhere to somewhere

Hello all! I am a current college student with little to no prior experience in consulting. I’ve done tons of research on different positions in the realm of business and I am confident that consulting is the route I want to take. I have done research on case interviews, taken practice GMAT exams, and attend a feeder school to Bain. My question is how do I go from having little to no experience to being qualified enough to even apply for summer internships?
