Recruiting to JPM as Non-Target

I am a rising sophomore at a nontarget school. I have been having networking calls for the past few weeks and they have been going well and I feel more comfortable after each and every call.

I recently spoke with a banker at JPM who noted that networking does not play a part in their networking process. As such, I want to put something into the abyss of WSO and see gauge the validity of this (not that I am questioning him, just seems a bit odd) and how to approach recruiting to this firm as a non-target? Any and all advice is appreciated.

Current first year at JP. From a non-target, had to full-time recruit from a boutique. Might not secure internship but full-time recruitment is another pathway in.
