Sophomore Summer Investing Seat Timeline

Title:

Come from a target

When is the timeline to apply for hedge fund sophomore seats? I’ve applied to Ruane but that’s about it. Farallon is later on and I’m thinking of applying to Holocene but I am not sure what the timelines are.

Is it now or September-November timeline early in sophomore year?

Any other good names as well?
