Did I Miss The Boat?

Current Sophomore -- after reading through a lot of these 2021 recruiting threads it seems like placed have already interviewed/offered a significant amount of candidates. I have networked well, but didn't fill out many applications yet, am I fucked? Some of the smaller shops I'm looking at in my city (think Charlotte, Houston, Minneapolis) don't start until the fall, but it seems like plenty of the larger names in the bigger markets (NYC, Chicago, LA) are starting to fill up.

I agree with the sentiment about WSO but top tier recruiting is happening right now. OP is a sophomore and will be a junior for SA 2021.

Start filling out applications and check in with your network. These threads always make it seem like every SA spot is full by April - they aren't. Aim for first rounds in the coming weeks from the larger names. The small boutiques typically wait until fall anyway so you have time if BB/EB doesn't pan out.
