EY risk as a freshman... Options for sophomore year?

I'm currently a freshman at UNC and will be interning for EY in their Risk Advisory services sector this summer through a fellowship program. What are my options as a sophomore to make me competitive for MBB recruiting as a junior? I plan on joining some campus VCs (GroundUp Ventures, Contrary, etc.) during my sophomore school year but don't know what is available for sophomores in the summer (fellowship will not be available to me next year).

If their is any opportunity to return to EY Advisory for sophomore summer I think that would be a good option. Otherwise could consider networking / applying into IB sophomore summer analyst programs, boutique investment banks, F500, start-ups, etc.

 

Could be dependent on region/office but yeah IB experience looks good because it shows you can put in the hours, are a competitive candidate because you landed it and the finance experience is valuable
