Please keep an eye on Management Consulted for the most up-to-date list of national application deadlines. Generally, MBB firms have deadlines in September for MBA full-time positions and November for MBA internships. Big 4 and boutique firms typically have later deadlines. Firms often create Carlson-specific application pages, so avoid applying through generic links. We understand the process can be confusing, so feel free to contact any consulting board member if you have questions.
