SA 2026 Interviews likely for target without networking?

I was wondering how likely it is to get interviews for IB SA 2026 from a target (Ivy+) without networking. I’m a CS major and wasn’t thinking about the IB path until lately, and now I’m worried I’ve missed my shot given I couldn’t do a lot of networking over the holidays. I have a 3.8 and am Latino (which I don’t think really helps tbh) but I was wondering if I should expect any interviews at all or if I’m cooked.
