DE Shaw, Citadel, other buy-side internships

Hi, sophomore at West Coast target here. Are any big buy-side shops still recruiting for SA 2019 fundamental research positions? I've seen the DE Shaw positions and have already applied for P72's sophomore summit, but I'm not sure about the timeline. I'd greatly appreciate a response--thanks!

P72's summit is not an SA 2019 position. Instead, it is a one-day event.

For Shaw fundamental, personally believed it's mostly for rising seniors / MBAs. And interviews started in May/June so I doubt if there are still any spots left.
