Question about Master in Finance SA Recruiting

I'm currently a sophomore at target trying to recruit for honestly any FO finance role. If that fails, and I get a good masters in finance, will it actually buy me another year of recruiting given how early the timelines are now? Because next year I'd be a junior recruiting for SA 2027 but I still wouldn't have been admitted to any MSF yet so is it pointless nowadays?
