Recent Grads Eligibility Crisis?

Hi all,

I'm a recent June 2021 bachelor grad from a UK target school, not doing a masters. I'm in a crisis trying to understand what roles i'm even eligible to apply for (BB/EB/MM... the works). These are the issues I'm thinking of

1. Off cycles -- Many of the recruitment pages say they're looking for penultimate year, final year, or masters student. Since i'm no longer a student, am I excluded from this pool all together? I'm mainly applying for these, 2021 and 2022 ones

2. Grad Schemes -- Same with off cycle, I'm not a final year student anymore. Haven't even applied for these bc i don't know if i should

3. FT Analyst -- Do they even consider people straight out of undergrad? 

Feels like I'm in a bad place because I missed the on-cycle recruiting timeline in my final year due to personal circumstances. My CV, past summer, and academics are all solid, but I feel I barely have a shot bc of the awkward timing. Huge thanks in advance!
