I'm a year 4 student who will defer my graduation for 1 semester (graduate in year 5 semester 1, Dec 2019) due to an off cycle internship. Normally, year 4 students should be applying for graduate programs by now. My situation is a bit awkward that I am too late for 2019's graduate program (By the time I graduate, it is already Christmas, which is 2020-ish), but too early for 2020.
When should I apply for grad job?
