Eligibility strictness for SA 2021 offers? Help me out!

Hi WSO,

Would appreciate the insights of ppl with experience/knowledge of recruitment at BBs on this one.

I am expected to graduate by Dec 2021, and am eligible for the SA 2021 programs - so I applied for them. But I know I can finish my required coursework one semester early too, and graduate by May 2021. If I graduate early - i.e. by May 2021, does my Summer Analyst offer for 2021 still stand? Or am I no longer eligible as a "penultimate" yr student?

What do you guys think? If this makes me ineligible, I will take a semester off and try to look for off-cycle opportunities as a last resort.

Thanks!
