Off cycle internship Recruitment

Hey all,
I have a 2027 BB SA lined up, but I had to push back my graduation date to be eligible (moved from may 2027 to may 2028). Because of this, I only have one semester of credits after my internship and my college doesn’t not do any graduations in the fall, meaning that I’ll have an extra semester with no school and no plans atm.

If I want to get an internship in fall 2027, what do you all think my plan should be? I know that many banks/pe firms don’t have formal off cycle internships so realistically I’d probably be targeting boutique firms with an informal process. Based on this, do you think I leverage my sa role even if it’s assumed I’ll return to the bank ft (if I get a ro)? How far in advance do off cycle internships start hiring/ what does the timeline look like? I haven’t been able to find much information online but any tips/help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
