SA/FT timing for someone graduating in 4 1/2 years

<p>hi guys,</p>

<p>I am doing a dual degree and need an extra semester to finish both degrees (graduating in Dec 2013). I will be entering my third year next semester. My questions are:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Will banks consider my rising senior's summer as my penultimate year? I ask this because most banks require interns to be in their penultimate year for an SA, is that right?</p></li>
<li><p>When does FT normally start for Spring grads? From what I've heard, training programs for fresh FTs are usually in July - August. If I graduate in Spring, will that mean I have to wait until the training program starts, or will I be able to work first as soon as I graduate?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>varies with the bank. I think most people in your situation would be treated as someone who’s graduating in 5 years as far as recruiting goes</p>
