What firms have ended/finished up 2021 SA recruiting??

Hey guys. Sophomore at a target school here (or at least i hope it is as us West Coast schools get shat on by WS) who's joined the finance recruiting process in the last few months. I was wondering if anyone had a list of firms that are basically done with recruiting/interviewing for their SA 2021 programs. I was abroad during the winter, so I didn't get the chance to network on campus and then as I was sending apps to all these different firms (IB, PE, HF, honestly anything at this point), I was frankly startled by how silent my inbox was. So i've only recently been jacking up the networking aspect, but I'm geuninely worried I'm too late for the EBs and boutiques and only have the BBs (big bois) left as possibilities. So rather than divert my energy to network with firms that already have full 2021 classes, I'd rather focus on the ones that I can shoot for realistically. So anybody have a solid list of places that are done hiring or it's too late now?

Thanks.

You can't even apply at EVR anymore. I think Moelis hasn't started yet, but I've heard they're pretty set on who they're going to interview. GHL is in the process/it's too late. I think PWP is done. Citi is done. HL is starting their accelerated process, but they're planning on holding another one in the fall so you can still network there. Baird is done. Ducera Partners is done. Morgan Stanley in MP is done, MS NY hasn't started.

CS started their process but it's paused. Barcap isn't sure of when they're starting, but they're wrapping up diversity. Not sure about Simmons in Houston. DB is no longer a BB, UBS hasn't opened their apps yet, TD just opened their apps but you don't want to go there. Lazard pushed back. GS and JPM open July 1. BofA opens July 1.
