If I start applying for summer25 in mid may would that still give me a chance for 2025 summer internship or am I doomed?

 

Based on the WSO Dataset, you still have a chance to secure a summer 2025 internship even if you start applying in mid-May. Firms like Oliver Wyman, BCG, and Bain, which are known to roll out their summer applications early, often continue their recruitment process beyond the initial posting dates. It's common for these firms to review applications on a rolling basis, so applying in May can still be timely. However, to maximize your chances, ensure your application materials are polished and consider reaching out for networking opportunities to strengthen your candidacy.
