Too Late for SA 2024?

Hey all, I'm currently a sophomore at a target, with 3.6 GPA. I've had a few first rounds interviews at places like CVP, Moelis, but haven't done enough networking and haven't even done the HireVues for JPM and MS yet. I;ve applied everywhere, from GS to PWP, but I think the lack of networking is dinging me as I haven't heard even first rounds from Evercore, PWP, places that I know a lot of poeple have heard back from etc.

I'm still learning the 400Q Guide too, and trying to understand it rather than memorize it since I'm not sure how hard the interviews are on these technicals. If anyone had any tips to learning that please lmk. Overall, is it too late to get a good offer for SA 2024? I'm not sure what to do as a plan either, feeling a bit lost, if anyone could advise, I'd really appreciate it. I'm feeling quite down on myself for not networking enough earlier and doing this stuff early, but it is what it is. How do you guys think I should proceed/do I even have a chance?

dude just send in your application right now so you can still be under consideration. yes first-rounds, even superdays have gone out and offers have been extended but there's no point of worrying about it if you don't apply
