Hello Preplounge community,
I am currently a final year undergraduate student. I have applied for some of the consulting firms for full-time positions and got rejected. I am currently planning to study for masters program after my graduation and would like to apply for summer internship. I am wondering if I could still apply for summer internship positions for those companies that rejected me for full-time?
Thank you!
Hello there!
It depends on the company, if it's MBB - it's not worth trying as there is a waiting period 12-18 months, if not - there is a slight chance. The thing is that it doesn't matter what position you are applying for, because candidates go through the same process.
Spend this period productively:
If you need any help with that, PrepLounge's experts are always ready to help.

In general, you do indeed have to wait. The wait is 12-24 months depending on the firm/country.
However, it doesn't hurt to ask - check with HR/recruiters and specifically ask them.
How do you improve your screening chances next time?
1) Gain experience (internships, bootcamps, classes, stratups, extracirriculars, etc).
2) Network - speak to multiple people across offices and aim to get a referral
3) Review your resume - make sure your formatting is sharp/consistent, key words/experiences pop, and your experience bullets are properly written.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions on how to better do 1-3!
Hi,
Yes, you can still apply for an internship. London is a very competitive office and you might got rejected just because they were not hiring.

Hello!
Unfortunately, no. It´s the same recruiting funnel.

Hi, usually you got at 12+ months of ban for every application
