On-Cycle timing for incoming first years?

Hey all- I’m struggling to find a straight answer and keep getting conflicting answers from my fellow first years… What is the attitude right now for when PE on-cycle is gonna formally kick off? Do we need to be worrying about this right now? I’ve been busy with pre-training work plus studying for FINRA exams. I’ve been getting a couple of HH emails over the past week or so but confused on timeline. I’m honestly not even sure if I want to do PE at this point so I’m stressing about how much time to spend on modeling test prep while also balancing starting my actual job. Maybe I’m just tweaking but thanks in advance lmao
