Break into IB

Hi guys, hope you are doing great. Just wanted to have some advice after a hell summer season for me. Didn't get one, and focus now on off-cycles and the full-time in the long run. I have 1 year before graduate, based in London and in a target school, and wondering what I can do more than have an off-cycle, start networking for full time in 1 year or too soon ? 

Have a good day
