FT Recruiting after SA Internship

Hello,

I'm from a non-target and had to do a lot of networking to get the BB S&T internship that I was lucky enough to get. Obviously, I didn't get that many interviews and no interviews that weren't through networking. This being said, I was curious if I should expect more interviews (without networking) when it comes to FT recruiting or will I still have to do a lot of networking to get my foot in the door?

Thank You

Keep up with the people you made contact with over the summer... do that and you'll have a lot of ground already covered for the coming year.
