What the Evercore online application looks like
Pick your two applications
You can send two applications a year, so choose them before you open the form. Evercore's US students page lists Mergers & Acquisitions in New York, Houston, Menlo Park, Chicago, San Francisco and Toronto, plus Strategic, Defense & Shareholder Advisory, Real Estate Strategic Advisory, Liability Management & Restructuring, Equity Capital Markets, Private Capital Markets and Debt Advisory, Private Capital Advisory, the Private Funds Group and Evercore ISI, all in New York. If you reach a final round, you choose one location or position to interview for.1,2,4
Use the window to network
The 2028 window runs from Sep 9 to Nov 15, 2026 and is not reviewed on a rolling basis, so there is no prize for applying on day one. Use the weeks to meet people at the firm, then apply once you can say why this group. Evercore's own advice is to build a network and stay in touch with the people you meet.1,17,6
Write the cover letter
Cover letters are required for campus applications. Keep it to one page and specific to the group and office: Evercore tells candidates to learn its history, core values and how it is organized before they interview, and the cover letter is the first place that shows.2,17
Submit before Nov 15
Late submissions are not accepted. Treat the evening of Nov 14 as your own deadline, and keep a copy of the confirmation. A withdrawn application still uses one of your two slots.1,2
After you submit
The recruiting team notifies you if you are selected for an interview, usually within a few weeks depending on the timeline for the position. With a fixed window, expect interview news after it closes, with first rounds in January 2027 on the usual timing.2,7,8
The first round
Recent US cycles go straight from the application to a live first round: one or two 30-minute interviews, by phone or video, with analysts, associates or alumni from your school, mostly technical after a few behavioral questions. In 2022, a New York Generalist process opened with a recorded video of five behavioral questions, and Evercore ISI Sales & Trading ran three first-round video interviews in 2025, so read your invite closely.10,13,18,11,12
What the form asks
- Program choices Up to 2
- Two applications a year. A withdrawn application still counts toward the limit.
- Resume Required
- The core of the application and the first thing the screen reads.
- Cover letter Required
- Required for campus applications. One page, specific to the group and office.
- Final-round location One
- If you reach a final round, you pick one location or position to interview for.
- GPA, transcript, written questions Check the form
- Put your GPA on your resume and have a transcript ready in case the form asks for one.
The limit, the cover letter and the final-round rule come from Evercore's posting and FAQ. The last row is our advice, since the form sits behind a login.1,2
Evercore resume and cover letter checklist
- One page, saved as a PDF.
- Education first while you are a student: school, degree written out, graduation month and year.
- GPA as 3.81/4.00 if it helps you; add a major GPA if it is higher.
- Experience newest first, two or three bullets each, every bullet starting with a verb.
- Deal and modeling words only for work you did and can explain in a technical first round.
- Leadership roles over memberships: what you ran, led or built.
- A one-page cover letter for each of your two applications, naming the group and office.
- One reason for Evercore that would not fit another bank.
- Both applications chosen before you submit the first one, since a withdrawn one still counts.
What to put on it
The first screen reads your resume and cover letter, so that is where your effort goes. For students the resume order is Education first, then experience, then leadership and activities, then skills and interests. The examples below are Intervyo rewrites of common lines, not questions from the form.2,15,16
- Education: School, degree, graduation month and year, and GPA. First on the page while you are a student.
- Experience: Internships and jobs, newest first, with two or three bullets that say what you did and what came of it.
- Leadership and activities: Clubs, teams and roles where you owned something, not only memberships.
- Skills and interests: Languages, software and a few real interests, last on the page.
- Cover letter: One page on why this group and office, with one reason that is about Evercore and not banking in general.
Example questions and how to answer them
Experience bullet"Rewrite this bullet: "Helped with valuation work for a client.""17,15
- 1Start with a verb for what you did yourself: built, valued, led, cut.
- 2Name the work precisely: a DCF, trading comps, an accretion and dilution analysis.
- 3Add scale in numbers: the company, the deal or the team.
- 4End with the result, even a qualitative one: what the client or team did next.
Tip: Evercore's first rounds are mostly technical, and anything you name on the resume is fair game. Only list work you can walk through out loud.
Example answer, written by Intervyo (not a real candidate)
Built trading comps and a 5-year DCF for a $200M specialty chemicals company with a 3-person student consulting team; the client used our valuation range to set its asking price with two strategic buyers.
Education line"Rewrite this education line: "Penn State, Finance, 3.8, 2029""1,15,16
- 1University and location on the first line.
- 2Degree written out, with the expected graduation month and year.
- 3GPA to two decimals with the scale. Add a major GPA if it is higher.
- 4An optional line for relevant coursework or honors.
Tip: Summer 2028 analysts graduate between December 2028 and June 2029, so most will show a 2029 date.
Example answer, written by Intervyo (not a real candidate)
The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA Bachelor of Science in Finance, expected May 2029. GPA: 3.81/4.00 Relevant coursework: Corporate Finance, Intermediate Accounting, Financial Modeling
Cover letter"Rewrite this cover letter line: "I am passionate about finance and Evercore is a top firm.""2,19
- 1Name the group and office you applied to in the first sentence.
- 2Give one concrete reason for advisory work, from something you did.
- 3Give one reason for Evercore that only fits Evercore: a group, a deal, or one of its values.
- 4Close on what you would bring to a small deal team.
Tip: Evercore lists Clients First, Integrity and Partnership and Collaboration among its core values. Use one as a reason, not a list.
Example answer, written by Intervyo (not a real candidate)
Written by Intervyo as an example. I am applying to the New York Strategic Advisory summer analyst program because I want to give advice, not sell a product. Running our investment club's sale-process case competition showed me how much of a deal is judgment about what a board should do. Evercore's independent model, and its value of investing in long-term client relationships through independent advice, is the reason I want to learn that judgment here.
From resume to first round"Walk me through your resume."10,17
- 1Open with where you are now: school, major and year.
- 2Take 2 or 3 entries from your resume in order, one sentence each.
- 3Link each step to the next, so the story builds toward advisory work.
- 4Close on why Evercore and why this group.
Tip: Tell me about yourself, why Evercore and why investment banking open most first rounds, before the technicals. Keep this to about a minute.

How long to hear back after the online application
Evercore notifies you only if you are selected for an interview, and aims to respond within a few weeks of your application, depending on the timeline for the position. In past January windows, interviews and superdays moved within days.2,9,10
Jan 2025 (summer 2026)
All groups, US
Applications opened on Jan 1. A recruiter put the diversity deadline at Jan 19, with first rounds starting before it and superdays from the week of Jan 20.10
Jan 2025 (summer 2026)
Superday candidates
Superday decisions came within a day. Applicants with only a first round, or no interview, heard once recruiting finished.10
Jan 2026 (summer 2027)
Restructuring and SDSA, New York
Restructuring first rounds were out within days of the Jan 1 opening, and SDSA first rounds soon after.9
Jan 2026 (summer 2027)
M&A, New York
Interviews came out by school and in batches through the end of January, with superdays from mid-January.9
Jan 2026 (summer 2027)
Real Estate, New York
First round in the second week of January, superday the following week.14
Aug to Sep 2026 (summer 2028)
All groups, US
A recruiter-sourced note put 2028 interviews in January. In a September rumor thread that named Evercore, an incoming analyst at an elite boutique said interviews were still on the usual January timing.7,8
The summer 2028 window closes on Nov 15, 2026 and is not reviewed on a rolling basis.1
Best guessExpect no interview news before the window closes on Nov 15, then first rounds in early to mid January 2027 and a superday about a week after. If a classmate in your group has a first round and a week passes with nothing, assume you are still in the pool until recruiting finishes.

FAQ
When is the Evercore 2028 summer analyst deadline?
Nov 15, 2026. The window opened on Sep 9, 2026, Evercore does not accept late submissions, and applications are not reviewed on a rolling basis. For summer 2027 the window ran from Jan 1 to Feb 1, 2026.1,2,20
Is the Evercore application rolling?
Not for summer 2028. The posting says applications will not be reviewed on a rolling basis, so a September application has no edge over one in early November. Use the time to network and write a strong cover letter.1,5
How many Evercore programs can I apply to?
Two a year. A withdrawn application still counts toward the limit and cannot be replaced. If you reach a final round, you choose one location or position to interview for.1,2
Does Evercore require a cover letter?
Yes. Evercore says cover letters are required for campus applications. Write one for each of your two applications, naming the group and office.2
When does Evercore interview for summer 2028?
Expect January 2027. Interviews for summer 2028 are set to start in January, the usual timing, after the window closes. In the last two cycles, first rounds and superdays ran through January.7,8,9,10
Does Evercore use HireVue or an online test in the US?
Recent US cycles have gone from the application straight to a live first round, and Evercore's own interview preparation page points you to technical topics for those interviews. A 2022 New York Generalist process opened with a recorded video of five behavioral questions, and Evercore ISI Sales & Trading had three first-round video interviews in 2025, so read your invite for the format.17,10,11,12
