How do you know when applications come out?

Hey, I’m new on this site and wondering how do you guys find out when SA/early insights applications open up? Is there a post that updates, or you just find out for yourselves by checking the bank’s website? Thanks

U just keep regularly checking the banks' websites, like during the weekend or before class starts. Make sure to keep an excel sheet to track which banks have opened and which haven't. Alternatively, u can ask ur network when they open or check Handshake to see if the bank posted on Handshake as well if ur at a target (although there's generally a couple days lag between the Handshake and website posting). The bank info session usually give u rough timeline of when applications open, like which month, but not specific dates so they're not that useful. However, if Moelis info session says they're gonna open in March, probs no point checking their website every day in Jan or Feb.
