ANY TIPS GREATLY APPRECIATED FOR NETWORKING

I’m a rising sophomore at a target school preparing for SA’26 recruiting in the winter.

How many people should I be aim to email/reach out to for networking by the end of summer?

^^ idk if this is a stupid question but should I do 10 people per bank for like 10-20 banks? 

 

My networking tracker had about 200-300 people I reached out to and had calls with ~25% of them for reference. Not all proportional at each bank because I was interested in certain banks and knew I would have a better shot and some of them as well so networked harder
