The business/commerce firms tend not to discriminate much between MQ/UTS/UNSW/USYD and consider applicants on a holistic level. As long as you maintain a 65 average and demonstrate some initiative by building some extra-curriculars and relevant work experience, you'll be eligible to apply for all the summer programs, internships, etc that the firms make available to you. From there it really just comes down to your character and performance in that interview (if you submit a fantastic application, that is). It'll also help if you attend the networking events I'm assuming the uni's Business Society holds because it'll give you great insight and knowledge about the firms that'll give you an extra edge whilst writing your written application. Having said that, my MQ friends have constantly told me of their disappointment that the MQ Business Society is not that active (which I of course can't confirm for you) and often attend the UTS/UNSW networking events instead. As part of the UTS Business Society, I can assure you that we put on numerous networking events and competitions with the Big 4 Accounting firms and certain Big 4 Commercial Banks (and other firms too like CA and CPA) throughout the year (around 6 or 7 this year), and this coming year we're extending our sponsorship to other businesses (Woolworths is the first announced so far), and we're introducing new initiatives too (for example, practise psychometric testing), and all of these things we've seen have helped more and more UTS students each year get graduate opportunities.
