What the Deloitte online application looks like

  1. Work out which calendar you are on

    Deloitte runs two calendars. Audit & Assurance and Tax recruit about two summers ahead: the summer 2028 Tax intern posting went up on Aug 6, 2026, and Financial Statement Audit postings for summer 2028 closed on Oct 25, 2026. The Summer Scholar roles recruit about one summer ahead: the summer 2027 postings ran in fall 2026. Each posting states the day recruiting ends, and Deloitte has moved those dates.12,9

  2. Pick the right posting

    Postings are split by role and track, such as Functional & Operations Strategy, Enterprise Tech Strategy, Technology Transformation and Infrastructure Engineering for the Summer Scholar roles, or Financial Statement Audit for Audit & Assurance. For Audit & Assurance, talk to the campus recruiter for your university before you apply: not every role is open in every office each season. You can apply to roles that are not posted at your school.12,5,2

  3. Fill in the form

    Apply on apply.deloitte.com. You can attach one resume, plus a cover letter, transcripts and other files, four files at most. Postings print a GPA floor, a graduation window and, for audit and some tax roles, a plan to meet CPA licensure requirements. You need to live within commuting distance of your assigned office.3,10,12,11

  4. Straight after you submit

    A recruiter compares your skills and experience with the posting. If you are selected, a member of the recruiting team contacts you to schedule an initial interview, usually within one to two weeks. If you are not contacted, Deloitte encourages you to keep applying to other roles.1,3

  5. Before the interviews

    Deloitte's published process goes from resume review to live interviews. Some routes add a step: audit and tax applicants may get an online assessment before the behavioral interviews, and Corporate Finance intern applicants in Dallas took one in November 2025 before a phone call with an associate. Watch your email after you apply.1,2,12,13

What the form asks

Resume Required
One resume only, in a standard format such as .docx or .pdf. The recruiters' search tool cannot read image or .zip files.
Cover letter Optional field
There is a field for it. A short one can help; keep it brief.
Transcripts Optional field
There is a field for transcripts. Have an unofficial copy ready in case your recruiter asks.
Other attachments Up to 4 files in all
Four files at most, attached one at a time in the labeled fields.
School, GPA, graduation date Check the posting
Postings print a GPA floor and a graduation window, such as Spring/Summer 2029 for summer 2028 Corporate Finance.
Office Commuting distance
You must live within commuting distance of your assigned office.

The attachment rules come from Deloitte's application FAQ; the GPA, graduation and office rules from the postings. The form itself sits behind a login, so check each field when you open it.3,10,12

Deloitte resume checklist

  • One page, in bullets rather than paragraphs, with a clean format and no fancy fonts.
  • Education first while you are a student: school, degree written out, graduation month and year.
  • GPA as 3.42/4.00 if it is over 3.2, and check it clears the floor printed on the posting.
  • For audit or tax: a line that shows how you will meet CPA licensure credits.
  • Internships and leadership roles up front, each bullet starting with an action verb.
  • Numbers where you have them: money saved, hours cut, people led.
  • Keywords from the posting that truly match your experience, with nothing stretched.
  • Awards, volunteer work and community involvement, which Deloitte says can help.
  • A second reader: a mentor or career advisor checks it before you submit.

What to put on it

The recruiter reads your resume against the posting first. Deloitte's own advice for campus hires: one page, bullets rather than paragraphs, internships and leadership up front, and your GPA if it is over 3.2. The examples below are Intervyo rewrites of common resume lines, not questions from the form.4,3,16

  • Education: School, degree, graduation month and year, GPA, and for audit or tax, your plan for CPA licensure credits.
  • Experience: Internships and jobs, newest first, each bullet starting with an action verb and a number where you have one.
  • Leadership and activities: Roles you led, volunteer work and community involvement, which Deloitte says can make a positive impression.
  • Skills and awards: Software, languages and any awards or performance recognitions.

Example questions and how to answer them

Experience bullet"Rewrite this bullet: "Helped with bookkeeping at a small business.""4,16
  1. 1Start with a verb for what you did yourself: reconciled, prepared, tested, built.
  2. 2Name the work precisely: month-end close, accounts payable, a sales tax filing.
  3. 3Add scale in numbers: transactions, accounts, revenue.
  4. 4End with the result: an error found, time saved, a process changed.

Tip: Deloitte's recruiters ask you to speak in detail to anything on your resume, so keep every line to work you can explain.

Example answer, written by Intervyo (not a real candidate)

Reconciled 12 bank and credit card accounts each month for a $3M family-owned landscaping company; found a $14,000 duplicate vendor payment and set up a check that cut month-end close from 6 days to 4.

Education line"Rewrite this education line: "Penn State, Accounting, 3.4, 2029""4,5,12
  1. 1University and location on the first line.
  2. 2Degree written out, with the expected graduation month and year.
  3. 3GPA to two decimals with the scale: Deloitte says include it if it is over 3.2.
  4. 4For audit or tax, a line that shows your plan for CPA licensure credits.

Tip: Audit and tax recruit about two summers ahead, so a summer 2028 audit or tax intern often applies as a sophomore.

Example answer, written by Intervyo (not a real candidate)

The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA Bachelor of Science in Accounting, expected May 2029. GPA: 3.42/4.00 Planned Master of Accounting (150 credits for CPA licensure by 2030)

Leadership and activities"Rewrite this activity: "Member, Consulting Club.""4,6
  1. 1Lead with your role, not the club: what were you responsible for?
  2. 2Say what you produced: a project, a recommendation, an event.
  3. 3Give one number for scale.
  4. 4Show what the client or the club did with it.

Tip: For Consultative Offerings, a student project with a real client shows the kind of work Deloitte's case interviews test.

Example answer, written by Intervyo (not a real candidate)

Project Lead, Undergraduate Consulting Club: led 5 students on a 10-week project for a city food bank; mapped its volunteer scheduling and recommended a shift system the board adopted, filling 30% more weekend shifts.

Cover letter"Write a short cover letter for a Deloitte internship."4,3
  1. 1Introduce yourself and your skills in one or two sentences.
  2. 2Summarize the experience that fits this posting.
  3. 3Say why Deloitte and why this role, in your own words.
  4. 4Keep it brief: one short page at most.

Tip: The form has a field for a cover letter, and Deloitte says many organizations do not require one, but a short one can set you apart. If you send one, keep it brief.

Example answer, written by Intervyo (not a real candidate)

Written by Intervyo as an example. I am a sophomore accounting major at Penn State on the integrated master's track, and I am applying for the Audit & Assurance intern role in Philadelphia. Last summer I reconciled accounts for a family business and found a duplicate payment the owner had missed for a year, which is when I realized I enjoy finding what does not add up. I want to start my career at Deloitte because of the range of industries its audit teams serve, which I heard about from your campus recruiter at our fall accounting night.

FAQ

When do Deloitte 2028 summer internships open?

It depends on the business. Audit and Tax recruited for summer 2028 in fall 2026: Tax posted on Aug 6, 2026, and the Financial Statement Audit postings closed on Oct 25, 2026. Summer Scholar roles run a year later, so expect them around August to September 2027. Corporate Finance's summer 2028 Summer Analyst posting states an end date of May 1, 2027.12,10

Which Deloitte internship should I apply for?

Match your major to a business: Audit & Assurance and Tax for accounting students, a Consultative Offerings or Government & Public Services Summer Scholar track for consulting, and the Investment Banking Summer Analyst role in Corporate Finance, based in Charlotte, Chicago and Dallas, for banking. For audit roles, Deloitte suggests asking your school's campus recruiter first.2,5,10,12,8

Does Deloitte ask for a cover letter?

There is a field for one, alongside transcripts and other attachments, but Deloitte notes many organizations do not require one. A short one can set you apart; keep it brief.3,4

What GPA do you need for a Deloitte internship?

Each posting prints its own floor: 3.0 required and 3.2 preferred for audit, tax and Corporate Finance, and 3.3 required and 3.5 preferred on the strategy Summer Scholar tracks. Deloitte's resume tips say to include your GPA if it is over 3.2.10,12,4

Does Deloitte have an online assessment?

Deloitte's published process goes from resume review straight to live interviews, but some routes add a test: audit and tax applicants may get an online assessment before the behavioral interviews, and Corporate Finance intern applicants in Dallas took one in November 2025. Watch your email after you apply.1,2,12,13

What happens after you submit your Deloitte application?

A recruiter compares your resume with the posting. If you are selected, the recruiting team contacts you to schedule an initial interview, usually within one to two weeks, and you can expect two to three rounds in all.1,3

Can freshmen and sophomores get into Deloitte early?

The Deloitte National Leadership Conference at Deloitte University in Westlake, Texas, is open to sophomores and juniors; you apply through your campus recruiter. The Discovery internship targets students about two years from graduation. Summer 2027 Discovery recruiting ran to May 1, 2026, so expect summer 2028 postings over fall and winter 2026 to 2027, with recruiting ending around May 1, 2027.17,12
