Annoying Big Banks by applying as a sophomore?

Had a friend who said BBs can get annoyed by sophomores applying to their analyst programs (even if they are open to sophomores and juniors) and then later applying when they are juniors ... Thoughts? Would it differ if applying from a target v. non-target?
