Hello - First year student at a non-target in NYC

Hello Everyone,

I'm a first year student at a non-target in NYC. Looking forward to use this website more actively (been a lurker for a month or two). I would love to hear some tips for freshmen students looking to break into S&T or I-banking. Also cant't wait to meet some new people at the WSO conference!

Should I just go ahead and start networking now? I just don't want to be seen as over-aggressive by networking too early (if there is a "too early"). I would greatly appreciate your feedback!
