Summer Associate start dates?

Hi all - 

Incoming summer associate at a T2 (strategy arm of a B4). Wondering if anyone else got much later start dates than expected. Not sure if it's firm-specific but I'll only be working 7/8 weeks when I anticipated working 10/11. Wondering if it's a cost-cutting move from the recession, would love any additional opinions. Thanks!
