What should I apply for?

I'm a master's student a french grande ecole (non hec) and i've finished my internship at European elite boutique (think about roth and lazard) and I've another internship at an European investment bank (Not bulge bracket think about unicredit), now i've to finish my studies from september to december. I would like to work in London PE or IB, I know very well that 90% of analysts come from summer analysts, do you think i can apply for summer analysts? And do you think it's possible to request the offer immediately after the summer internship?

If you get a SA and a full-time offer afterwards, you can ask for an 'early start' meaning you'd begin FT the following January. Think that's the earliest you could start FT following a SA.

The eligibility criteria for Summers is that you graduate the following year at the earliest. So if you apply to the 2024 SA, would need to be graduating in 2025. If you're a student at ESCP, there are ways for you to 'defer' your graduation date by a year on paper, so you could write down that you're graduating in 2025 on your CV which would make you eligible for the 2024 Summers. 

As you correctly said, graduates are quite tough to get so a Summer is the best route imo, unless you can do another good off-cycle internship and get a FT offer there.
