Big 4 Audit Cadet looking to move into MBB Consulting

Hi All,

I'm a Big 4 audit cadet (for those unaware of the program - basically someone still in college but is also working in the field). I'm looking to move into MBB Consulting after graduating, which is in about a year. Any advice for maximising my chances of getting in? What else should I focus on aside the marks, networking, case comps, participation in uni clubs, etc?

Thanks in advance.
