Key facts

• Deadlines: Summer 2028 deadlines: Houston Energy Nov 10, 2026; Restructuring Advisory in New York Dec 1, 2026; the main US Advisory posting (New York, Chicago, Palm Beach, Los Angeles, San Francisco) Jan 5, 2027. For summer 2027 the US deadline was Jan 18, 2026.^2,3,4,6
• Review: Houston Energy reviews on a rolling basis and may fill seats before its deadline. The US Advisory and Restructuring postings ask you to apply early as PWP finalizes selections and interviews over the winter.^2,3,4
• Who it is for: For summer 2028, undergraduates completing a degree between December 2028 and June 2029, with a historically competitive academic standing and a thorough grasp of financial concepts.^2,3
• Documents: Your resume is reviewed by a member of PWP's team. Treat a cover letter as optional for the US: the US process names a resume review, and the 2028 postings name no cover letter.^1,2
• Superday: Expect three or four one-on-one interviews plus a case study, with interviewers from associates to partners. A January 2026 MBA superday in New York (summer 2026 associates) had four: fit, technicals and two conceptual or behavioral.^6,10
