How much do referrals help for BoFA?

I know that some BBs have gotten rid of their referral system completely and now the whole recruiting process is solely based on Hirevue/Interviews. Wondering whether BoFA falls in that category or does networking there still help? Thanks

From speaking with people at the firm, it sounds like Bank of America has largely kept networking as an integral part of their recruitment process. They will have each group send in resumes of people they have talked to at the analyst level. Not sure how seniors are able to impact it.
