Viable strategy to land goldman internship?

Hey monkeys, I am currently a freshman at rutgers (rising semi-target) and I think I figured out an underrated strategy to land a goldman internship that nobody has figured out. To start, I have debilitating social anxiety and would much rather not network. However, I am much smarter than the average kid my age so I deserve goldman. I noticed that not a lot of kids my age are liking goldman’s posts on linkedin. I think it would put me ahead of the curve to start liking their posts early. I think that if I like all their posts they will eventually notice me.
