Recruiting Timeline Question

Is it too late to start networking/recruiting for IB (also PE, Asset Management, etc.)? I am currently a sophomore looking to go to NYC at a semi-target school with a 3.6+ GPA. Would appreciate any real advice on if I can get something for 2026 or would have to reclassify for 2027. Thanks!
