Can you believe it's already fall and heading towards winter? MBA first years: it's crunch time! McKinsey and Bain have released MBA internship application deadlines, and we've aggregated the relevant dates and links so you know exactly when you need to have your application submitted.
We expect BCG to release an application deadline shortly.
Remember, make sure your resume and cover letter are consulting-worthy and make sure you begin to network NOW before submitting your application!
Note #1: BCG has different application deadlines depending on the target school. If you are at a target school, be sure to follow the respective links and search for your specific deadline on the firm's portal.
If your school doesn't show up in the firm's system, then you are at a non-target school. If that's you, don't worry! Reach out directly to the recruiting coordinator in the specific office(s) you're interested in (hint: you can find them on LinkedIn - but reach out via email!). Need help? Contact us, and we can help answer your questions.
Note #2: Some firms don’t post MBA internship deadlines, but December 1st is generally a hard application deadline across the industry. So, aim to have your application submitted by December 1st if you cannot find a specific deadline for your target firm. Be sure and check with the firms that you’re applying to for confirmation on the latest you can have your application submitted.
