SA 2019: Apply Now or..?

Hey all,

So, as you may know, 2019 SA just opened up for JPM and is due September.

There's a problem with that: i'm a community college student hopefully transferring to a target/semi-target (don't know which one yet) for Fall 2018 and will not find out until late April-first week of May, which is apparently when first Superdays will be held.

I have a relevant internship, an f500 internship lined up for this summer which I can include on my Resume, but won't be able to include which school i'm going to; i'm positive i'll get zero hits with my current school as it's not even on their list of schools to select from on the app.

So, should I apply now and cross my fingers, because if I don't it will be too late in April/May? Or should I stick it out to get a better school on my resume? Assume that i'll be ending up at NYU/UVA/UMich type school.

Really don't wanna screw up this early in the application process, thanks and +1 ahead for anyone that can help! It's pretty much a first mover with a negative vs. a late mover with a positive scenario.

I suggest start networking first and they will guide you on your best options. Don't submit the app without doing due-diligence as once you do, you can't go back.
