When do Summer Applications stop being worth it?

So I've been pretty slow with applying to firms. I've applied to some within a few days, and others within 2 weeks of opening due to a mix of over-editing cover letters and procrastination. Some I still haven't applied to and they're nearing the 4 week mark. They're still open until mid-November, but these firms do rolling applications so there's always the possibility that applications close around early October or even earlier.

Is it still worth going for these or just focusing my energy on the new ones that open?
