Mid-market consulting from non-target liberal arts school

Hello,
I went to a top 50 liberal arts school from which absolutely no consulting firms even collected resumes.
I cold called/emailed/networked my way into an offer with a no-name mid-market consulting firm, and was the only person from my class to get an offer in consulting.
How much should I play this up in my application? I think it makes a big difference, since the perception of my profile would change a bit, if I went to a school at which Deloitte and Accenture routinely recruited, for example.
Am I correct to assume that I should make this a major theme in my application?
Thanks
