At what point should I lower my expectations in IB recruiting?
If I don't have a traction by, say, July? Is that too late and I should lower my expectations?

I began recruiting a bit late in July of Junior year and finally got my FT IB offer September my senior year.
Moral of the story never lower your expectations, keep your head up, and know it will come if you consistently work hard and take some Ls.
