i'm confused does this apply to summer internships as well and why were there year end hiring freezes in the first place?

Periodically (and regularly, for that matter) big banks simply stop hiring to save on costs, sometimes for months at a time. Usually, this doesn't apply to internships.

that's great news thank you. so do applicants reapply for these new positions or will banks just contact prior applicants?
