Networking at a target

Hi all. I'm a rising junior at a target (not HYP) and am at the top of my class GPA-wise. For my sophomore internship, I am working at a $1B+ VC firm. I'm involved in some finance/investment organizations on campus and a few non-finance ones as well.

I have done some networking but not that much. How important is networking if I am shooting for a BB/EB summer? Is networking just for getting first rounds? Does it matter much beyond that?

Thanks!
