Networking Timeline (VPs, MDs, Partners)

I'm a rising sophomore at a non-target. All of my network is analysts and associates at the moment. Is this a good time to start reaching out to VPs, MDs and partners? If not now, when do you guys think is a good time? And what 'boxes' must I check, if any, before I talk with the more senior people?
