2026SA Apply ASAP or wait for possible 2025 winter position to add on resume

Do I apply for internships as soon as they open or wait for my current 2025 winter position to hear back and add onto resume if I get in, which should be in ~ 1 week.

On a side note, I have a similar question on Networking - I have some calls with firms with 2026 SA open next week.

(btw I'm mainly recruiting Canadian IB)
