Why do internships for firms such as Goldman Sachs release their applications a year early?

Why do firms like GS and JPM release their applications a year early? I feel like my resume changes so much every couple of months so why a year in advance? Especially since college freshman and sophomores most likely don't have much on their resumes just starting out or having only a year under their belt. That is all.
