applying to analyst program after graduation?

Hey everyone,

Not sure if this has been a topic that's been discussed already, but I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone has any information about this. Here's my situation: I'm starting at Citigroup Hong Kong in their Management Associate next month (I just graduated a target school in NY). Although the program sounds great, I'm interested in joining an Analyst program in the near future. My question therefore is whether I'm allowed to apply to Full-time Analyst Programs in the fall that are generally directed towards seniors in college. I know this may be a stupid question, haha. If I'm not allowed to participate in that recruitment process, is there any other way I can join an Analyst program at a bulge bracket firm? Thanks everyone!

bluntly: it doesnt matter if you are allowed or not... if you want it just apply. and then network like no other while you apply via a traditional route.
