Lateral before On-Cycle

Finishing first year at a MM IB and considering lateraling to strong BB/EB group before on cycle PE; considering on cycle is in October, would a lateral after 1 yr still receive MF/UMM looks during on cycle / is it worth making the switch, or too close to the interviews now?
