Has anyone interviewed for legal jobs at consulting firms like Bain, McKinsey, or BCG? Any tips?

I'm told there will be a sort of times questionnaire of a few questions. I'm expecting consulting-type case questions, although this seems odd for a legal job.

I’m graduating in December, with a background in environmental economics and policy. Consulting didn’t work out this cycle. Made it to final rounds for Bain and Kearney but in the end didn’t get an offer. I want to recoup and try again, but I’m worried that once I’m out of undergrad the door will be closed to starting in consulting.

What can I do to make this happen? I have friends and connections at Bain and Kearney and the other firms as well, but not sure if it’s feasible now.
