The "D-League" is our oldest and most popular team for college partners looking to hire interns across various fields. For this reason, we offer a different iteration in each season: Winter D-League, Spring D-League, Summer D-League, and Fall D-League. The Winter D-League, in particular, had ~40% of its members advance to Phase 2 in 2025, with 50% securing internship offers in a range of competitive industries before the end of the season.
As Oliver Wyman's Summer 2026 recruiting season approaches, we are excited for them to engage with the 2025 Winter D-League and continue the rich tradition of D-League alumni who have joined OW as Summer Interns, including the three featured athletes below:
All Fellows began their Winter D-League fellowship journeys in Phase 1, known as the "Individual Competition." During this three-week "regular season," they participated in three rounds of mock interviews. These interviews were scored and evaluated by MAP alumni, providing the Fellows with the tools and confidence needed to compete for the #1 position on the Leaderboard Rankings.
Sponsored by Oliver Wyman, the Fellows simulated interviews for the role of "2026 Consulting Intern" at the firm. This experience offered valuable insights into OW's unique offerings and taught the Winter D-League Fellows how to tailor their responses to specific job roles and functions in the future.
We look forward to seeing Winter D-League's 2025 roster build on the rich tradition of last year's squad, which saw 75% of the 2024 Winter D-League secure Summer 2025 analyst roles by March 2024, including some standouts from last year listed below:
