Hi ABBBCCCCC,
Thanks for posting. I think on paper, you have the components of a strong profile for Silver Scholars. They look for candidates who demonstrate "intelligence, curiosity, maturity, passion, and compassion for others". It sounds like you'll be able to demonstrate many of these qualities through your strong academics and GMAT, your leadership on campus, and pro bono work. One component that is harder for me to judge is the strength of your internship experience, as Yale seeks high potential leaders who have made an impact (even in small ways as an intern). So if there are experiences/accomplishments that set you apart from other interns and demonstrate how you made a difference (for the firm, for clients, for your team), make sure those come through in your resume, essay, and recommendations.
Finally, Silver Scholars is a very selective program and you need to show maturity and thoughtfulness about your career goals -- why consulting is a good fit for you, what specific areas of consulting you're most curious about, and why you're confident that you want to begin to pursue your MBA at this early stage in your career.
If you can do those things, I think you've got a shot, though again it is very selective.
Hope this helps!
Kate
