Am I too late? (West coast, non-target)

I've just recently realized my interest in IB and want to fully commit (and I'm ready to go balls to the wall in terms of networing/technical interview prep) but I am wondering if is too late for summer 2021? I know applications are opening up but my friends who are pursuing IB started networking in January... sorry if I sound naive. Thanks for the help. (If it's not too late is it better to spend a majority of my time networking right now or more time on prep and researching particular banks)
