Networking- Aiming for the moon

I just got into WSO so if this turns out awkward please bear with me. I am a senior who just graduated undergrad with a double in Econ and Applied math and Statistics. My goal is to join IB but I have no internship experience whatsoever. I currently have an offer from a non-target grad school for ms in finance so I can have more time to work it out. I want to expand my network and my abilities to chat with people, as well as be in the position to fight if an opportunity comes through. I am from the nyc area and if anyone is in IB or is one the same track maybe post under the fourm or shoot me a dm.
