MSF Student-Apply for positions now?

I'm currently an MSF student graduating in May/June of this year. Would it make sense for me to apply to open positions for lets say an analyst slot that a BB has listed on their careers website right now?

I feel like they would prefer an immediate hire or would they consider me, interview me within the next month and wait it out till I graduate? I feel like they would prefer the former. I am asking this because I don't want my contacts to push for a position for me now when I should probably be waiting to apply for positions closer to graduation.

Hope you understand my concerns and where I'm coming from.
