Spring Weeks 2027

I saw that Blackrock already opened their applications and I think JPM and Rothschild will also open before uni starts. My question is if I should apply now or wait for uni to start and then apply? 

On one side I heard that applying early increases your chances by quite a bit, on the other side I could I could join some investment clubs at uni to show passion for finance.

I’m more inclined to apply before uni since I already show my passion for finance through an pre uni audit internship and a couple stock pitches that I have published on substack.

Do you think applying once uni starts will give me better chances or is applying early more important since I already show passion for finance?

Thanks to any responses :)
