Oliver Wyman Middle East App

Question

Hi,

I applied to the Oliver Wyman 2026 Middle East internship right before Mid March. They opened it around late January and said to apply by end of March.

They closed the application portal right after mid March - so two weeks before their initial deadline. It’s currently March 31st but I haven’t heard anything back and I didn’t receive any assessment yet.

For context, I have a strong profile from a top target school.

Is this normal or is it a soft rejection? Did I apply late? Do they use a rolling process and have already filled their spots?

Would appreciate any input.

I can't confirm specifically for OW but I'm hearing that a few other T1 consulting firms have paused hiring for now given the war. If you're in contact with a specific recruiter, reach out to them to see if this is the case with them too.
