Is there an on-cycle process for MM PE/should I be preparing now for it?

I’m an incoming analyst at a MM bank (non-NYC) and was wondering whether it’s as important for me to be practicing for PE interviews in my senior spring like all the BB/EB analysts for MFs or if it will be different if I’m only aiming for MM/LMM PE
