It’s a bit early but the way the cycle works is recruiters have headcount targets for a given school for the fall cycle. If you are borderline earlier on, you have a higher chance of getting an offer compared to towards the end. If there are fewer slots, they might hold out to interview the remaining candidates and choose the best ones, even if you might have gotten an offer earlier in the cycle.
It does depend on the company and a lot of factors but my general advice is earlier is better… but you have to be ready. If you aren’t ready and fail interviews that’s much worse than waiting a tad longer and feeling more confident.
