How early is too early for new grad roles?

I’m a Junior set for graduation May 2027. and while I already have a summer 2026 internship lined up, I’m still applying to fall co-op and summer 2027 internships/early career positions

One of these early career positions recently reached out to me for an interview. When I applied, my resume showed both my upcoming Summer internship and my graduation date of 2027.

My question: is a year early too early to apply for new grad positions? The job posting didn’t specify that they’re looking for 2026 grads, I’m just worried since a similar situation happened last year. I received an interview only to be told they were looking for juniors, not sophomores. Thanks in advance for any help!
