Based on previous WSO threads, here are some insights and advice for your situation:

1. Recruiting Timeline:

   • JPMorgan: According to a post from June 25, 2020, JPMorgan had their full-time recruiting application up on their website before the end of their internships. This suggests that they might have an early recruiting cycle. However, it's worth noting that recruiting timelines can vary, and there might be opportunities in the fall. Keep an eye on their careers page and network with current employees to stay updated.
   • Goldman Sachs: A WSJ article from October 29, 2018, mentioned that Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan paused their intern recruiting madness and decided to recruit students in the fall of their junior year. This could mean that there might be opportunities in the fall for you to apply.

2. Networking:

   • Networking is crucial, especially coming from a non-target school. Even though some threads suggest that networking might not be as important at JPMorgan, it is still highly recommended to chat with people there. Building relationships can provide you with insights and potentially help you get your foot in the door.

3. Experience and Qualifications:

   • Your experience in PWM and having passed the Series 66 & 7, along with studying for the CFP, are strong points in your favor. Highlight these in your applications and during interviews to demonstrate your commitment and knowledge in the field.

4. Fall Off-Cycle Internships:

   • If you are looking to stay busy and gain more experience, consider fall off-cycle internships. A post from June 14, 2023, mentioned that reaching out to BB, EB, MM banks, or MM/UMM funds for fall internships could be worthwhile. This could provide you with additional experience and make you a more competitive candidate.

5. General Advice:

   • Stay persistent and proactive in your job search. Keep networking, applying, and preparing for interviews. Utilize resources like WSO to stay informed about recruiting timelines and opportunities.

Remember, breaking into top firms like GS and JPM is challenging, but with your background and dedication, it is possible. Good luck!
