Summer Analyst

1. 1Application

   Resume and cover letter, GPA and test score screens at most firms. A referral from a consultant you spoke to moves the application to the top of the pile.

2. 2Online assessment

   A problem solving test or game: McKinsey's Solve, BCG's Casey chatbot case, Bain's online test. Data reading, logic, and quick math under time.

3. 3First round

   Two interviews, each about 30 minutes of case and 10 to 15 minutes of fit. Interviewer led at some firms (they steer you through questions), candidate led at others (you drive the structure).

4. 4Final round

   Two or three interviews with partners or principals. Cases are less scripted and more about judgment; fit questions go deeper on leadership and impact.

5. 5Offer

   Usually within one to three days, often by phone the same evening.
