Deloitte Strategy & Operations Summer Analyst Salary & Career Path

Can you realistically get in?

The honest answer for undergrads, from prep-provider recruiting guides (GPA cutoffs are their estimates, not Deloitte S&O-published — treat as directional):

• GPA screen:reportedly around 3.5 at target schools, higher (~3.7+) if you're at a non-target — but interviews are gettable below that with strong offsetting signals (test scores, standout internships, real leadership).
• The real barrier is the resume screen, especially from a non-target school. Once you land the interview, your school matters far less — cases and the personal-experience interview are graded on merit.
• If your school has no Deloitte S&O recruiting team,apply through the firm's general portal and reach out to a consultant (not a recruiter) in your target office — a consultant's internal referral is the most-cited way past the screen.

These are recruiting-community norms, not official Deloitte S&Opolicy — confirm current deadlines and requirements on the firm's careers site. The case and fit rounds are what actually decide it; the practice CTA below starts a free case.
