Sophomores ~ Consulting Recruiting for Summer 2028 Starts Earlier than You think!

If you are a sophomore, interested in pursuing internship opportunities for summer 2028, you might be surprised to find that some of the most competitive opportunities will be opening next semester!

In 2026, McKinsey, Bain, and Oliver Wyman all closed their first internship applications in late March. No firm has announced changes for 2027, so our assumption is that these early timelines will stand.

What does this mean for you? As we approach winter break, you want to be thinking about your networking / referral strategies & prepping for those case interviews. For help in this regard, Bentley partners with Management Consulted, which provides both case prep materials as well as strong networking planning advice.
