SA 2025 - Is it too late to start networking?

At a target school (one of the "lower" Ivies) and I'm thinking of recruiting for IB. Previously interested in consulting, but the market sucks and I think I'll regret not taking advantage of being a target school for banking. Is it too late to start making calls and preparing for technicals?
