From IT to MC with 1 yr international MBA?

Hi Guys,
I would like some advice/insight from people who have "been there done that" - switched to MC from IT (or from some non-business related field).
I have been accepted to Oxford Said (but rejected at the 2 year US programs I applied to). I aim to jump into Management Consulting (general or Busines tech). How easy/difficult will it be to get into the consulting role that I seek with the 1 year Said MBA? Does anybody have advice on how to land pre-MBA or post-MBA internships to get into a MC firm?
Also, how can I improve my chances of getting recruited? I have started case study prep etc after speaking to alumni of Said who are in consulting. But any advice here would be appreciated! Thanks!

Ok, let me post my thoughts to try and get this started..
So, what I am doing right now is reading The Mckinsey Way and How to Win friends and influence people! :D This was suggested by a connection in Mckinsey.
One drawback of a 1 year program is the lack of summer intern-ship, so I have arranged a call with the Careers Centre of Oxford Said to talk about internship opportunities and other ways to improve my candidacy for a Consulting gig. I am also looking for programs similar to Deloitte's Immersion program. I would prefer to spend 6 months in a more business oriented role/consulting role!
I plan to attend a consulting bootcamp and start beefing up my Case Study/Analysis skills (caseinterview.com, managementconsulted.com, etc)
What do you guys think?
