The enrollment date doesn't matter as long as your adiment to them you'll be able to graduate by the date you listed. Although, it is disingenuous to the firm you are interning at, and may effect your chance of return offer if they learn you lied/are not able to graduate.
if you don't graduate by end of summer 2025, you're basically throwing return offer out the window and risking a bad reputation. I would 100% confirm you can graduate by that date.
Don't listen to this. Just tell the firm you will graduate early IF anyone asks. As far as anyone outside your own brain is concerned, you will graduate early.
Step 2: start leveraging this internship to get your internship for Junior summer at a different bank.
Step 3: If you get an offer from bank 1 at end of summer, tell them either when they give you the offer or a few months later that you are considering doing 3.5 or the full four years but would love to join after graduating.
If they are fine with it, then you get to choose between bank 1 and 2. If they are not fine with it, then you go to bank 2 the following summer and get a return offer there.
Wanted to ask something here; I'm trying to recruit for sophomore year internships but of course there are very few. My resume is relatively strong and I think I'd have a shot at some junior year internships.
I can easily make my grad date 2026 (I have enough credits) and try it out, but would I get dinged when I try again next year (with my 'real' 2027 grad date)? Or should I only apply to places that allow 2027 grad date? Just wondering what the general practice is for sophomore internships.
Do whatever you want. You won't get dinged when you change it to '27 b/c those places you are applying won't know that you lied to get your sophomore internship.
I'm in an opposite situation as OP. I got an IB SA next year but I graduate just before the internship starts. Will this affect my offer and if not, is it possible for them to give me a FT return offer to start just after my internship ends?

Tough one… maybe try to graduate early? I’ll assume you have 30 hours so far and need 120 to graduate.
18 hours Fall 2023
6 hours over Christmas
18 hours over Spring 2024
6 hours Summer 2024
18 hours Fall 2024
6 hours over Christmas
18 hours Spring 2025
Also some schools offer courses over spring break I think? And you may already have over 30 hours.
And boom —> graduation

so what was your decision? did you join the bank ?
