Recruiting timeline
Students should monitor CCPA events, Handshake, and alumni connections for employer sessions, workshops, and recruiting updates. A previous event, McKinsey’s 2024 case interview workshop, brought consultants and Haverford alumni together to discuss the case interview and recruiting process.
Start practicing cases before applications open, revise your résumé with the CCPA, and use alumni outreach to clarify each firm’s timeline. Confirm deadlines directly with each employer rather than assuming that a campus event date matches its application deadline.
