Is it still worth it to apply? I know the interview process started long ago with many already signing offers, so just trying to get some insight into whether or not I should even try.

What’s the downside?
Just do it. You have nothing to lose
The immediacy on these threads are very misleading. Mass-hysteric FOMO. My advice: frequent these threads LESS, so that your temporal gauge isn’t out of wack.
EVR isn’t close to being finished, across all groups, except RX (div & non-div). So, definitely apply NOW. I have friends DIV receiving 1st rounds this very week. Non-div will kick out in the next 2 weeks to March’s end.
In my estimation, given the slight acceleration in the process this year, EVR will be “offers out” early April/end of March.
—also network ASAP, they’ll know what’s up and refer you if the conversation is good
would you still say it's worth it to spend time trying to network if you have a ~3.5/3.6 gpa?
Yes, my GPA is in the same ball park. I networked and got 1st rounds at all the EBs.
are you guys referring to SA positions or full-time?
