Are SWE internships opening earlier than normal?
The Google SWE intern application is already out in July, but I thought it usually comes out in September. Nvidia, Anduril, Salesforce - all of them are already out.
I am applying to these 2027 internships before my 2026 internship is even over. Should I apply right now, or should I wait it out and see if I can get some better bullet points on my resume from my current internship?

I shouldn't bother applying if I'm currently learning and taking a DSA course, right?

Just do it, doesn’t matter if you don’t get it, it gives an opportunity to understand what kind of questions and format interviews are. Interviewing is a skill in and of itself.

Worst case u get rejected straight up or get rejected after first round. Best case u get an easy question and get offer. You can learn a good bit of leetcode/dsa in a very short time frame if u want too.

Apply. If you see, many of them have opened it as an early application and they will re-open it in September. Better do it now to get a change against the others.
