When do applications for summer '26 open up?

Question is in the title. The timeline becomes more and more accelerated each year. I believe most banks opened applications up last year in Feb/Mar/April. Is it fair to expect them to open up about 1-2 months earlier than last year, so around Dec/Jan? Does anyone have any insight on this? Thanks

They won’t look at applications until earliest January then start interviewing in February. I had my interview in mid-February.

 

idk why HL recruits so early, they're just asking to get reneged at this point

 

That’s stupid so does your sophomore fall gpa factor in or do you like update it once you get the transcripts or something?
