There are numerous threads all over WSO with just the sort of advice you're looking for.
Quick question though, doesn't summer associate recruiting start in January? Or, is this through networking?
My interview is in the third week of January. This was through regular on campus recruiting. BCG had a very early application deadline(end of November) at my school.
Oh, ok. Congrats and good luck!

To really set yourself apart, be creative in the solutions you suggest. Of course, be clear and structured in your analysis, but definitely try to think outside the box and recommend creative strategies!
Gotta search the forum first...there is some very solid advice provided, but no one likes to type the same thing twice/three times.
In general, you can get any type of case so be creative and make sure you are comfortable and adept with quick number crunching/math.
