Can I negotiate a “full time” job posting down to 4 days a week?

I’m a recent college graduate so I’ve never applied for full time salary positions before. I’m mostly looking at entry level office jobs. I have responsibilities to family/home that I balance much better when I work 4 days instead of 5. I want a healthier work/life balance and can afford to take a day off. I think I have an impressive resume and interview skills compared to other newbies in my field, but I’m not sure if asking for a 4 day week would immediately eliminate me during the interview process? Is that something I’d bring up after I’m hired? Any advice on navigating the full-time job world after college (in USA) would be great.
