Haven't heard back from Goldman despite attending top CC

Hi everyone, I applied to GS on July 4th for IB NYC, SLC and Chicago but have not heard back ever. I have a high GPA (3.6+) and attend a top community college (think Eastern Gateway, Hudson County, Arkansas State). Shouldn't I have at least gotten a first round considering that I'm basically at the ivy league of community colleges? I didn't network much with GS as I couldn't find alumni from my school at GS. Could this be the problem? Any insights would help.
