you should be in good shape. definitely start reaching out to alumns now - I'm a junior now and I didn't start "networking" until a couple months before applications were due late this past summer/ early fall. Ended up getting an SA offer at a BB that I'm happy with but definitely would have had a way easier time if I started making connections earlier. Other thing I'd say is definitely grind hard in school for the rest of the year. I know people on this forum tend to underemphasize GPA, but the reality is its the first thing people are going to look at on your resume. With a 3.7 you're in a good spot, but if you push it as close to a 3.8 as possible you'll really stand out, whereas if it drops down into 3.6 range you'll start to fit in with a large pack of people with similar grades. put in work man! a million people want your spot - you're ahead of the pack but don't let your foot of the gas!
