Starting Master's degree in a month. Any tips for Consulting recruitment?

I made a few posts earlier so I won't go into immense detail.


I'll be starting a Master's degree in the UK at a relatively prestigious university and wanted to get any general advice regarding consulting recruitment.


I graduated with a first class econ degree from a complete non-target and have 8/9 months experience in accounting.


Since I don't stand a chance at MBB grad roles, I'll exclusively be targeting non-MBB consulting roles like OW, LEK, OC&C, RB etc.


Do you have any tips regarding the cover letter and interview process? Any general advice?


Thanks.
