It's smart to do it over the summer before you graduate. Statistically, you're more likely to get a job, but that's just numbers talking. But I also know people who've done them right before or after they graduated, and their internship turned into a full-time job, so that's something I always keep in mind as well...
That's what happened to DH. They actually hired him about 6 weeks before he graduated and 3mos before he was provisionally licensed. He did all the work but until he got his Prov. License another therapist had to sit in [though they didn't actually participate in his sessions] and sign off on everything. After that he was supervised for 2 years.
Anyway - it was nice knowing he had a job before he graduated. About half his class didn't.
