If you're a sophomore eyeing a consulting internship, the time to start preparing is now - even if it feels too early.
With firms recruiting a full year in advance, your 2026 internship interviews will happen in 2025 - and the candidates who win have a strategy in place well before applications open (as early as June!).
In this episode, the Management Consulted team lays out the 3 pillars of a winning recruiting strategy, breaking down:
- Key milestones you need to hit
- Common pitfalls that can derail your chances
- How to stand out - whether you're at an Ivy League or a non-target school
Whether you're deep into case prep or just learning what consulting is, this episode will help you craft a clear roadmap so you’re not caught off guard when recruiting heats up.
