Consulting - Applying for consulting

I was wondering what you guys thought of applying for consulting as a way of "hedging" against not getting a SA position in banking?

There are a few positions on my OCR website and i feel it could be a summer better spent than doing... nothing. Does consulting require preparing for the interview in a similar way as I would for IB or if I'll have to prepare another ~400 questions?

thanks
