MD Recruiting Timeline for Undergrads

Hello all,

I am a current sophomore at Shorter College in Little Rock, Arkansas and I was wondering if anyone has any insight for undergrad MD recruiting. I see a lot of peers posting on LinkedIn about accepting 2024 SA positions; however, I know I have a lot more to contribute to a firm than the mediocre average finance student. Moreover, I just don't think the hours at the SA level are for me(especially considering the low pay compared to MDs). Thus, I have been searching for MD undergrad recruiting timelines for the last month, but have had no success in doing so. I am certain I will be a top applicant considering my abundance of past work experience and high GPA (I have had 4 jobs throughout college and high school & boast an impressive 3.78 GPA). I am mostly interested in joining a BB firm such as Goldman, JPM, or Morgan Stanley; however, I would be willing to settle for an upper MM such as William Blair or Lincoln. If anyone could provide me any insight as to the recruiting timelines for these firms it would be greatly appreciated.
