Just started networking, am I screwed?

Currently, I am a rising junior at UIUC majoring in Economics. I have around a 3.2 cumulative (had some health issues) and a 3.8 major gpa. I am currently a business analyst intern at a Fortune 500 company. I recently just got interested in investment banking but since the recruiting process is so sped up, I'm afraid I won't be able to get any offers because my credentials aren't good and I literally just started networking (sent out emails yesterday). What can I do to improve my chances? Thanks!
