Is it early in the game for SA?

Besides OCR/resume drop, I applied to many many places online and had MDs forward resumes, etc in December and beginning this month but have not heard back anywhere thats not OCR (places include BBs like CS and MMs like Harris Williams). Is it still early in the process, or did I get rejected from most of these places?

OK cool - are those the cases for just BBs or most places, because a HLHZ recruiter specifically told me they don't look at applications till after February, so do places like Harris, William Blair, Sagent, etc recruit later?
