I work in Federal government consulting ( think AFS, Deloitte GPS, BAH). Is it viewed positively that I have a consulting background or will it not make much of a difference?

What’s your target school ?

It certainly won’t hurt in most cases.

Getting in a decent program if you’re not top tier in terms of test scores is your project experience that you can bring your perspective to the class room. To the extent your work experiences are applicable the easier it is for admission to recommend you.

When I apply, it’ll be 5

I mean its definitely a plus but I wouldn't say it gives you much of an advantage honestly. Its probably not going to make much of a difference in the long run.
