Will Networking Still Help?

Currently recruiting for SA '27 from a semi/low target and not getting anything back. I'm wondering if there's any value in continuing to network and if that will yield any interviews.

I know most firms are rolling, but I was also confused about which firms I still have a shot at, especially if people at my school are getting interviews/offers: specifically the large BBs/Boutiques. 

Right now, what would be the best route to take and am I cooked for this app cycle?
