Am I Cooked for SA 2029?

I'm a rising junior at a target high school (Exeter/Andover/Deerfield). I have a 4.0 GPA but only one internship on my resume so far at a regional bank this summer. Looking to recruit for BB/EB, have technicals down cold and working on Bloomberg certification, but I haven't started networking yet. I am also the President of Finance Club at my school and CEO of neighborhood lemonade stand.

With a strong GPA and extracurricular involvement, I'm hoping to have good chances for recruiting but the recruiting timeline concerns me for networking enough. Aiming for GS TMT/JPM RX. Do I stand a chance? Let me know.

I won't be surprised if in 20 years GS is interviewing candidates fresh out of the womb
