Why do banks take sophomore summer analysts?

Why do banks take sophomore summer analysts?


To lock up good talent early? I feel like most of them end up not returning anyway (mid tier to top tier or top tier to buyside, etc.)


wouldn’t it make more sense to take more juniors that are able to return full time?
