Sophomore internship needed for SA2025?

Curious if it's essential to have a sophomore summer internship lined up before SA2025 interviews start. I've probably applied to a few dozen places and am in a few processes but with the junior summer recruiting timelines being so early now, hard to imagine I'll have anything locked in before superdays roll out. What have been people's experiences with navigating this?
