hazelmorgan, that's a solid profile you seem to be building up there.
Given the top tier consulting firms, I am assuming your undergrad is a top tier one too? That, together with the GPA will put you in the right zone.
The average experience is in the 4-5 years range at top schools. Is that what you are targeting?
It would be premature to do a profile evaluation since it has to still build up. Focus on your job and ensure you work on other aspects that matter for profile building. You've got a great start.

You carry a very strong profile with an excellent academic record, you have great interns and extracurricular activities, amazed to see your profile and you are an ideal candidate for any top b-school. While assessing your application, top b-schools look for candidates who have demonstrated leadership qualities in their professional or personal lives. Leadership qualities don’t necessarily mean leading teams – they could also mean the initiatives you had taken, your achievements, impact orientation and career progression.
If you have plans to apply for B school in the coming years, you may have to build your profile under the below-mentioned categories.
Job: Cross-functional/cross-organizational shows the adcoms that you take initiative and are a leader. Take up responsibilities that you could use to build a story for your essays.
Volunteer Experience: Spend your weekend volunteering for community work or teaching children who cannot afford basic education (mostly in rural parts).
Certifications: A course related to the subject you will study in MBA or related to your career that will help you to develop your skillset.
Pursuing hobby: Having a creative hobby, such as fitness enthusiast, reading new books, active on social forums, learning a new language, attending conferences relating to your field, dancing or doing adventure sports will display to the adcom that your willing to step out of their comfort zone to pursue success.
All the best!!
