What steps can I take? |

I'm a college junior, transferring from a state school to Yale for junior year this September, and would very much like to break into strategy consulting.
However, I'm worried about a few things:
1. For summer internship recruiting I will only have one semester of Yale grades (though my old grades are excellent). Will this put me at much of a disadvantage for recruiting?
2. I'm a history major (though I have taken a few classes in math, stats, econ, and accounting.) Are top firms still taking in liberal arts types as they were during the boom days or is it more narrowly engineering/economics types today?
3. My extracurricular/leadership activities are being disrupted by the move (I will be forsaking presidencies,etc.) Any suggestions on compensating for this?
4. If I can't find anything in consulting for the summer, what other internships would be a good preparation for the senior year job hunt?
5. Any idea on the numbers for Yale recruiting by M/B/B? I.e. ratio of resumes to interview, number of hires, that sort of thing.
