I have strong internships but almost no campus leadership. Is that a major weakness for undergraduate consulting recruiting?

Question

Most of my time went into internships and part-time work, so my resume does not have the club-president type experience I see on many consulting profiles.

It is not automatically a major weakness if your experiences still show ownership, teamwork, and impact.

Leadership can be demonstrated through responsibility and influence, not only formal campus titles.

An internship where you drove an analysis or coordinated stakeholders may be stronger evidence than a passive club title.

Rewrite your strongest experiences around decisions, actions, and measurable results.

The return commitment is the part people forget. I would model the downside if your plans change during the MBA.
