Can i get past resume round without networking

Hi all,

Currently applying for IB 2024 SA roles. I am late to the process and to be honest, haven’t networked that much. However, it’s already mid-March and I feel like I can’t afford to wait for networking and then apply. Should I just keep applying straight away ? I am at a target and have some experience in consulting before but overall my resume is pretty average. Would appreciate any advice from you guys !
