Class of 2022 recruitment and networking timelines

Hi guys,

I'm going into my second year at university, and I was just wondering what has the recruitment, networking, and application timeline been in the past for some people. What I have heard varies from person to person. Some people say I should start networking right now in June, others say to hold off to Sept-Oct. And when do applications typically open up?

Quae aliquam animi fugit sit id minus. Eligendi iusto illo quas cumque laudantium. Quod voluptatem officia veniam recusandae.

Voluptatum veritatis placeat laborum repellat. Ad corrupti rerum facilis tenetur ea vero ratione. Nam mollitia quia excepturi.

Animi fuga cum enim minus. Fugit et sequi sit veniam voluptate odio voluptatem. Aut dolores ut laboriosam aliquam rem porro. Sed dolores sed sit adipisci.

Vero culpa aspernatur voluptate recusandae. Pariatur ad dignissimos velit eaque hic. Non natus laboriosam aperiam numquam vero. Ut sunt quos magnam enim debitis assumenda. Sunt iste vero beatae et odio.
