A planning guide for campus recruiting, based on recent published rounds. Each band covers several firms or school rounds; applications are not open throughout it.
Experienced hiring follows individual vacancies, without one annual application window.

PEarly programmes
Typical US recruiting seasons, January to December. MBA internship applications cross New Year. Broad planning windows, not confirmed future deadlines.
The annual overview covers all firms and months. Your firm, month and search filters apply to the published entries below.
Read MBA internships across New Year: November/December applications lead into January/February interviews. Interview timing for other routes varies by firm.
Timing notes and sources
US examples from the 2026–27 cycle, checked . These month ranges help with planning; they do not predict next year’s deadlines. Use the entries below for published dates.
MBA interview bands use Kellogg’s campus calendar across employers. Undergraduate bands combine separate consulting-firm deadlines. Advanced-degree eligibility and vacancy-led hiring differ by firm. For the UK, Canada and other markets, use local employer and school dates.

These are previous dates, not forecasts for the next cycle. Other vacancies at the firm may still be available.
Applying with work experience
Experienced hiring often follows individual team needs. Start with the advertised practice, location and required experience. The vacancy supplies the application instructions and any closing date. A conversation with the team can help you understand its needs.
Describe decisions you made, the results and your own contribution.
Match your preparation to the role’s interview process: cases, technical assessments or experience interviews.

About these dates
Each date comes from an employer’s careers page, application system or named campus page. It applies only to the programme, school and location shown. Undated entries stay undated; we don’t roll last year’s dates forward.
Sources, updates and calendar downloads
Open an entry to see its source and the date we checked it. University-hosted employer postings are identified as campus sources. “Rolling” is used only where the employer states it.
Sources more than 30 days old are flagged for review. Downloads are then unavailable until we recheck them. A deadline can change before our next review, so confirm it with the employer before applying.
Calendar files are all-day entries. Add your own alert and check the published cutoff and time zone. Neither a downloaded calendar entry nor a shared image updates automatically.
Use “Suggest a correction” on an entry to send us a revised date and its official announcement.
