You may have that opinion about your qualifications but that might not be what’s perceived by recruiters. Get feedback on your resume from folks who have seen recruiting success. Just like C1 said above, network. Get your name and face in front of folks who are where you want to be and attend campus recruiting/career events whenever possible.
With Deloitte I'd say focus at least as much on your mindset and values. Obviously we want skilled people, but that can be taught, and it's not like we can reasonably expect a person out of college to know everything.

Could give KPMG referral, but it would be for new grad most likely.

First off, good for you for being a great student and acquiring a good internship early. But I would agree with KPMG 2 that not everyone will see this, so you should make yourself stand out. Yes, you may be well rounded but a well rounded employee also knows what his weaknesses/limits are - assess yourself
