Advice for graduate student to land 2025 IB SA

I'm an incoming Ivy-league business school graduate student (expect to graduate in Dec 2025) and currently looking for an IB intern opportunity. I noticed most banks only hire UG students. Any suggestions to give me? (International student, STEM-eligible, non-diversity) Thank you so much for your advice in advance! I appreciate it.
