Urgent Advice Needed on Course of Action?

(Okay, third try. My post was saying access denied for some reason).

Hey guys, I'm starting to apply for IB internships, but I need some advice. I go to Princeton and have a stellar GPA, good extracurriculars with leadership, and am currently interning at a finance-related place. But I've done pretty much zero networking. How should I go about applying at this point?

Do I apply on the company website? Some of the banks have postings on Princeton's Handshake site, so should I apply on there as well as on the website? Or should I try to talk to some alums at these banks first before doing anything at all? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
