Case Behavioral
I went through an on-campus interview at my MBA program. It involved 2 cases and a behavioral interview, all in a single round. The cases were less structured than typical consulting case interviews. The people were friendly, albeit a bit eccentric, and it's a competitive process.

Case Behavioral Technical
This was a typical consulting case interview with an introduction beforehand. The interviewer had great energy, clarifying all my questions about the company. The case itself was quite standard, focusing on quantitative analysis. Numbers are fundamental.

Behavioral Case Presentation
Got a referral which helped me get a call back pretty fast. First up was a 30 min phone screen where they asked about my background and why I was interested in consulting. About a week later, I had a 1-hour case review session. It was moderately tough if you haven't been practicing case interviews, and it did have some behavioral aspects, but it's pretty much in line with standard case review guides. A few days after that, I found out I didn't proceed to the next stage.
