What the Oliver Wyman online application looks like
Apply in your sophomore spring
Oliver Wyman's US Summer Intern is for second-year undergraduates: you apply in the spring of your sophomore year and intern about 15 months later, in the summer before your senior year. The summer 2027 posting, for the class of 2028, closed Mar 29, 2026; the summer 2026 posting closed May 11, 2025. Expect the summer 2028 posting to close around March 2027.1,2,6,7
Pick offices and a practice area
The posting covers seven US offices and asks you to give your preferences in the application system across five areas, from Generalist Consulting to Banking & Financial Services and Private Equity, Deals, Diligence & Post Transaction. Plan on ranking three offices.1,7
Prepare the documents
Plan on a resume, a cover letter, your GPA, SAT or ACT scores and an unofficial transcript. Oliver Wyman welcomes all majors and looks for initiative, intuition, creativity and problem-solving, plus evidence of an interesting life outside your studies.7,3,1
Check your work authorization
The posting requires unrestricted US work authorization and says Oliver Wyman does not sponsor the role; CPT and OPT count as restricted. Check this before you start.1
Straight after you submit
Expect an online test before any interview. In recent US processes it was a digital assessment, or a short quantitative section and a situational section, and then the interviews.10,12
Then the interviews
Oliver Wyman mixes conversational and case interviews. Recent US intern processes ran back-to-back 30-minute interviews, one behavioral and one case, and some went to a second round of cases.4,10,11,9
What the application asks
- Offices Plan on three
- Ranked by preference from the seven US offices.
- Practice area Required
- Your preferences across the five areas, given in the application system.
- Resume Required
- One page, Education first.
- Cover letter Plan on one
- Why Oliver Wyman, why the area you ranked first.
- GPA, test scores, transcript Plan on them
- Your GPA, SAT or ACT scores and an unofficial transcript.
The offices and practice areas are in the summer 2027 posting. The form sits behind a login, so treat the rest as the likely list and check each field when you open it.1,7
Oliver Wyman resume checklist
- One page, saved as a PDF, with no objective or summary line.
- Education first: school, degree written out, a 2029 graduation date, GPA to two decimals.
- SAT or ACT score on the page or ready for the form, if it helps you.
- Experience newest first, every bullet starting with a verb and ending with what changed.
- Part-time jobs and campus roles written as problems you solved, not duties.
- Leadership over membership: what you ran, fixed or built.
- A cover letter that names the practice area you ranked first and why.
- An unofficial transcript ready to upload.
- Every line true and yours, and ready to talk about for a minute.
What to put on it
Oliver Wyman's conversational interviews start from your background, interests and accomplishments, so every line on the resume needs a story behind it. As a sophomore you will have less experience to show, so Education, one or two jobs and what you led carry the page. The examples below are Intervyo rewrites of common resume lines, not questions from the form.4,14
- Education: School, degree, graduation month and year, GPA, and test scores if they help.
- Experience: Jobs and internships, even short ones, each bullet saying what changed because of your work.
- Leadership and activities: Roles where you owned an outcome, not only memberships.
- Skills and interests: Excel, any data tools, languages and a few real interests.
Example questions and how to answer them
Experience bullet"Rewrite this bullet: "Worked as a cashier at a grocery store.""14
- 1Start with a verb for something you changed or owned, not the job title.
- 2Name the problem you noticed.
- 3Add scale with one honest number.
- 4End with the result.
Tip: Sophomores rarely have a consulting internship. A part-time job written as a problem you solved reads better than a thin internship.
Example answer, written by Intervyo (not a real candidate)
Tracked checkout wait times over four weekend shifts and proposed moving one stocker to an express lane from 11am to 2pm; the manager adopted it, cutting peak waits from about 9 to 5 minutes.
Education line"Rewrite this education line: "UT Austin, Econ + Math, 3.8, 2029""14,1
- 1University and location on the first line.
- 2Degree and majors written out, with the expected graduation month and year.
- 3GPA to two decimals with the scale.
- 4A line for honors, test scores or relevant coursework.
Tip: Summer 2028 interns are in the class of 2029, so most will show a 2029 date.
Example answer, written by Intervyo (not a real candidate)
The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX Bachelor of Science in Economics and Mathematics, expected May 2029. GPA: 3.82/4.00 Relevant coursework: Statistics, Linear Algebra, Intermediate Microeconomics
Leadership and activities"Rewrite this activity: "Treasurer, Investment Club.""14
- 1Lead with what you were responsible for.
- 2Name one decision or change you drove.
- 3Give one number for scale.
- 4Show the result.
Example answer, written by Intervyo (not a real candidate)
Treasurer, Student Investment Club: rebuilt the club's $40,000 portfolio tracker in Excel and introduced monthly sector reviews for 30 members, cutting reporting time from a week to a day and doubling attendance at meetings.
From cover letter to interview"Why Oliver Wyman?"12,13,5,1
- 1One sentence on what draws you to consulting.
- 2One reason specific to Oliver Wyman, such as the practice area you ranked first.
- 3One thing about the office you want.
- 4Tie it to something you have done: a class, a job or a project.
Tip: Why Oliver Wyman comes up in recent US first rounds. Make your cover letter and your spoken answer tell the same story, and link it to the area you ranked first.

How long to hear back after the online application
Oliver Wyman's intern process moves quickly once the online test is done. In the summer 2027 cycle, interviews ran in April and May 2026, after the Mar 29 deadline.1,10,11
May 2026
Summer Analyst, Chicago
On-campus recruiting: a test, a phone interview and two rounds of cases. One to two months in all.11
Apr 2026
Summer Intern, Boston
Applied online, took the digital assessment, then two back-to-back 30-minute interviews, one behavioral and one case, and an offer in less than a month.10
Jul 2025
Consultant, Dallas
An online test, then a first round of a behavioral and a case interview, and a final round the very next week. One to two months in all.12
Jun 2025
Analyst, Financial Services, New York
Two interviews in the first round and three in the second, and an offer in less than a month.13
Treat the review as rolling: apply in the first weeks the posting is open, well before the deadline.7
Best guessExpect the online test within a few weeks of applying, and interviews in April or May 2027 if summer 2028 follows the last cycle. If a month passes after the deadline with no word, a short note to your campus recruiter is reasonable.
