Hi, and thanks for writing! It depends which MBA programs you're aiming for (many are strong in consulting/entrepreneurship) - but, for Top 15 US programs and top programs in Europe, given the competitiveness of your demographic and your somewhat lower GPA, I'd aim for at least a 730. Have you been involved in any post-collegiate extracurricular activities? If not, this is a good area to build out as well.
Regaring your career goals, make sure you explain the motivation behind your desire to become a consultant, and why you hope to be an entrepreneur someday - schools are always very interested in understanding the "WHY" behind the goals.
I hope that helps a bit!
