SA Recruitment - please help

I am a junior at an ivy league school with a high gpa in a finance major. My goal is to spend next summer in ibd at a bb. My experience is decent - i've worked every summer and had good jobs but not much related to banking (mostly in real estate). I believe I will interview well (I have a genuine interest in finance/the markets - read journal/economist/dealbook regularly and have traded a personal acct for the last couple years) but am worried bc I lack contacts at many of the bb's and am realizing how competitive this process gets. Can any current analysts (or anyone with experience in this process) please guide me, give me some advice maybe look over my resume if possible - I'd really appreciate any help. I'd love to land GS as I've gotten to know the firm pretty well, but, of course, would be more than happy with any of the bb's.

Again, I'd really appreciate any help.
