Rise@AG Externship

Explore a Career in Economic Consulting with AG’s Externship for Undergraduate Students

The Analysis Group Rise@AG Externship is a week-long, immersive summer experience designed to introduce undergraduate students to the world of economic consulting. During this program, externs will discover how data-driven thinking helps solve complex business and litigation challenges.

  • Practice interview and presentation skills with feedback from AG consultants
  • Work on a mock case alongside peers

Application and Recruiting Process

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. The recruiting process consists of one 30-minute virtual interview during which you will be asked questions about your experiences and qualifications. We will inform you of our decision three weeks after the application submission. To be considered, we ask that you submit:

  • Resume
  • Unofficial Transcript
  • Statement of Interest: Please describe your interest in Rise@AG, what you hope to gain from the experience, and any relevant background or academic pursuits. You may also include your preliminary geographic preference for an internship the following summer.
  • Reflection on Access and Inclusion
    As part of your application, we invite you to reflect on two areas:
    1. 1. Access and growth for yourself – How Rise@AG represents an opportunity for you to explore economic consulting. You might consider sharing how your academic, professional, or personal experiences have shaped your curiosity about the field, your prior exposure – or lack thereof – to the field of economic consulting, and the reasons why participating in this program would be an opportunity for growth at this stage of your journey.
    2. 2. Access and growth for others – How you have contributed to creating access, fostering growth and inclusion, or building belonging for others within the teams, organizations, or communities in which you have participated.
    You are welcome to respond in whatever way feels most authentic, or you may use prompts such as:
    • Have you faced challenges in accessing opportunities in fields such as economic consulting or related areas? How have you navigated any of those barriers?
    • Share an experience in which you worked with people who had different perspectives than yours. What did you learn?
    • How have you helped to open doors or create opportunities for others in academic, professional, or community settings?
    • Describe a time when you worked to make a team or organization more inclusive. What actions did you take, and what was the impact?
