Applying before On Campus Recruiting

Hello I'm a second year at an east coast semi-target (3.9+, Finance exp but no IB Internships, Good Not Great ECs). I have noticed that recruiting for 2019 summer analyst positions has already begun so I have started to think about applying to some of these online opportunities to get a head start. Looking at my school's schedule I have noticed that there are a number of banks which are visiting in April but from what I've heard a number of banks will already be offering super days in April.

Should I wait until I attend on campus recruiting sessions to apply to these opportunities? There is one bank in particular which has listed an application on the school job portal with an application deadline the day after their on campus information session. Would applying to this position now open a potential for an on campus interview? (I find it interesting their deadline is also one of the times which they are on campus)
