My odds of getting an IB internship at a non target

I’ve seen so many condescending posts from people at Ivy League schools with solid credentials that still can’t find internships; I’m a sophomore at a non target with a 3.5 gpa and I’m kinda losing all hope of getting any type of internship.

So far, I’ve had 2 internships: one with a small venture capital firm in Boston my freshman summer, and another MBA level (according to the job application) internship with a start up company, where I audit all there statements, manage spending and taxes, and build revenue projections and pitch decks. These were definitely hard internships to get, but I don’t think at the level of competition that IB offers.

I currently spend about 5-8 hours a day applying for jobs, networking, and prepping for interviews. I just want to know my odds from any seasoned professionals because I’m kinda losing all confidence.
