going into consulting with a MS?

im an undergrad at a target school studying STEM . i want to graduate with my MS and undergrad in 4 years. 

1) can I recruit for the more advanced consulting roles at MBB meant for ppl with grad degrees (APD) or will I have to recruit with other undergrads?

2) I'm also specifically interested in healthcare and life sciences consulting, is the only relevant advanced degree MD and PhD? or do they have recruiting specific for advanced degrees like MS too?

Most non-MBA masters students will enter at the undergrad level, with JDs and MDs being the exception to this (There might be some exceptions). Your best bet would be to look on LinkedIn for alumni of the masters you are trying to do.

Can’t really help you with the other question.
