Anyone here like me constantly psyching themselves out before applying for MBB/Kearney/LEK etc? Tips on getting through it and some evaluation criteria on experience/skillset to decide if I have a fair chance?

They all have essentially the same interview process, hire from similar schools, pay similar salaries, and allow you to apply again if you are rejected. MBB has more prestige of course. I suppose if your goal is end up at MBB, and are inexperienced in consulting interviews, applying to a T2/B4 first would give you some experience. However, that seems like a lot of effort and I've heard lots of stories of people being rejected at T2s and accepted at MBB, and vice versa, of course. It entirely depends on your performance that day and how you click with the interviewers. I would just apply where you are interested in working and perform to your best ability in each interview.

Assuming your resume is updated, the actual application is very easy to fill out. If you get the interview, all those firms will provide resources to help you prepare and people here will be willing to help as well. The whole process can be overwhelming, but if you just take it one step at a time and do your prep you'll have an excellent chance of succeeding.
