Networking Timeline?

Rising sophomore here. Could anyone give a breakdown of how one should approach networking? I understand that this will depend on when apps open/how accelerated different places have their timelines.

But generally, when is the first time people will be willing to talk to you and after how long so you try to follow up with them? Additionally, I've heard west coast offices run things a little earlier, how much earlier is this usually? Thanks
