I would think you'll definitely get in at some M7s if you hit average GMAT. Your GPA is really not that bad.

Sort answer, yes. Ultra top-tier undergrad, just a tad below M7 average gpa, and a great consulting firm name on your resume. Depending on your demographic, I think you would be good with a 720+ GMAT. You will still need a good entire application (essays, etc.), but I don't think you should be worried.
