Recruiting tips for full-time positions in IB out of undergrad

Hi everyone! I'm currently a rising senior majoring in economics and statistics at a target school (e.g., NYU, UVA, Michigan, UC Berkeley) looking to break into IB full-time. This summer, I'm currently a corporate finance intern at one of the 10 largest banks where I work in the capital markets group, mainly utilizing Python to value and analyze derivatives. I'm looking to start recruiting late July/early August and wanted to reach out to see if anyone has any helpful advice they wanted to give. I'm fully aware that it's going to be hard for me to break into IB without being in the business school, so any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!
