Still worth networking?

Sophomore at a target. A lot of people from my school already have offers or are currently in superdays. I haven’t heard anything yet, and my applications for GS and JPM are still marked as “under consideration.”

At this point, do I still realistically have a chance, or is it basically over for those firms? More importantly, is it still worth networking now, or does it not move the needle once superdays/offers are already out?

Would appreciate any insight from people who’ve been in a similar spot or have visibility into how this plays out.

Yall act like if you don’t end up at a BB you are screwed. Bro EB/MM banks have fantastic groups and for certain groups even better exits than BBs.

Or I may just be on crack and you’ll just end up at Regions, womp womp
