Currently at a target MSc programme in London. I applied to most IB SA roles in early-mid September but I still haven’t heard anything in regards to interviews.
Finished all the tests & HV’s - yet I haven’t gotten rejected or advanced. Kind of nerve wracking as a lot of people on this site are already hearing about AC’s.
This is me venting more than anything but if anyone else is in the same position it’d be nice to have some validation.

He's applying to SA though. HR would filter out his application rather quickly if they thought he didn't meet the basic requirements, i.e. graduation date.
It’s technically my penultimate year. Graduation date is always listed as 2022 and banks in London are aware of this programme
.
That wouldn’t matter for summer analyst roles. If my programme ends in May but I say I’m graduating in August I still wouldn’t qualify. This programme has a term in autumn following the internship - which is why we qualify
Sure - but the point was, you are applying SA.
I think you shouldn't let yourself down already. Some buddies of mine that are recruiting are now starting to hear the first feedbacks. Rejections, when they came, came quite quickly for them. Some are starting to get first rounds or are passing the CV screens, when companies have those.
Moreover, heard from some people that HR is still busy with the whole COVID situation and that FT positions get priority over SA recruiting. So don't worry too much about your applications, news will have to come in sooner rather than later.
same boat as you
Just apply everywhere and don't limit yourself to SAs - consider off-cycle internships
