Gap Semester Recruiting Shift
There's a good chance that I take a gap semester this fall given the current situation with COVID. This would shift my graduation date to December 2022 instead of May 2022. Does this still allow me to apply for 2022 IB Summer Analyst positions next summer?

You would have to defer your SA year if you defer your graduation. You’d be expected to start in July (I’m not sure why they’d be flexible on this) and you wouldn’t be available until the following january
Yes, but don’t expect your current bank to be happy.
No internship rn so I don't have to worry about that
Right, but if you land a SA 21 internship the bank is expecting you to stay on. If you do SA 21 and 22 you'll prob burn those bridges
oh gotcha. Good point
What if I get SA 21 and then decide to take a gap year, would banks typically be willing to push someone off to the next SA year?
hey, feel free to PM me. I was class 2021, but had a to take gap semester due to personal reasons. now I am graduating Dec. 2021, but it gave me the opportunity to really figure out what I wanted to do after college. as a result, I learned a lot more about investment banking and now will be a summer analyst at EB next summer. don’t worry about semester off as if anything gives you longer to prep, network, and figure out what you wanna do!
