Top Consulting Internships
This list tracks openings for consulting internship programs at top firms such as McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Bain & Company, and other leading management consulting firms. Each role is organized by company and labeled as open, closed, opening soon, or not yet open, making it easier to track the recruiting cycle and apply on time.
Most consulting internships, especially for summer business analyst or associate roles, follow a fairly predictable recruiting cycle, with applications typically opening in the spring or early summer, often more than a year before the internship itself. However, timelines can vary across firms and from year to year. Some companies may post earlier or later than expected, which is why we monitor and update this list in real time.
When a role is closed, you'll see the most recent posting date. For many firms, you can also click to view the historical posting history, giving you insight into how often each company posts internships, what their typical timelines look like, and how long roles usually remain open.
Internships we anticipate opening within the next 30 days are marked with an "opening soon" tag. These predictions are based on trends from past hiring cycles. While not guaranteed, they're a useful way to prepare in advance. If a role is tagged as "not yet open," that means we expect it to go live within the next 30 to 130 days.
The list updates hourly, so when a new consulting internship, whether at McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Oliver Wyman, LEK, or another firm, goes live, it will appear here shortly after. These roles are highly competitive and often fill within a few days, so checking frequently can help you stay ahead.
If there's a firm you'd like us to track, just let us know! Simplify is designed to help students and aspiring consultants stay organized, spot opportunities early, and make the recruiting process less stressful.

We've curated a list of top consulting and compiled internship data that we've scraped from those specific companies. We use this information to help predict which roles are likely to open soon.
'Opens soon' is based on historical posting patterns. If a company consistently posts a consulting internship around the same time each year, we use that data to estimate when it might open again. While not guaranteed, it's a helpful signal based on past cycles. You can also click 'show more' to view previous open dates for each company.
Consulting firms look for problem solvers with leadership experience and strong academics. A 3.7+ GPA helps, but your resume should show initiative: case competitions, startups, club leadership, etc. Network early, prep your casing, and stay organized.
Most firms use case interviews plus behavioral interviews. You'll be expected to structure problems on the spot, do math under pressure, and communicate clearly. Practicing with a partner or coach can really help.
Not at all. Many interns studied engineering, poli sci, history—you name it. What matters is how you think and communicate, not your major. Just be ready to talk about your experiences in a structured, results-driven way.
Consulting is known for long hours, tight deadlines, and lots of travel (though that's changing). The pace is fast, but many firms put real effort into mentoring interns. You'll learn a ton. Just be ready to work.
