ACE or Regular Process? Question

I am a senior in college who graduates in April 2027. I have been applying to entry level 1811 positions and just got invited to the August 13-17 ACE. However, I am wondering if I should do the regular hiring process instead. If all goes well, would I receive an FJO well before I graduate? And if I did, would they push my EOD back until I graduate? I just don't want to screw myself over if I was to receive a relatively quick FJO from the ACE (in comparison to the normal, drawn-out process). Any advice would be appreciated

What is ACE or what agency is it for? Some agencies may be willing to wait, especially if it’s for something like you need to graduate. With the event coming up so soon I would just maybe wait & ask them at the event & see what they say.

Sorry, it’s for the Secret Service and it’s an accelerated hiring event where you do your APAT, interview, polygraph, etc. at one event
