Best middle market banks for an ER internship?

I’ve been doing a lot of internship applying to any opening I see online but a lot of them are for big investment banks which I feel is out of reach for me at the moment. What middle market banks or really any smaller firm would be best for a non-target school student like me for an ER internship?

Individual person yes. The analyst runs a portable franchise - if a bank is not doing well or shutting down the ER department, the analyst can take his/her junior people and re-launch coverage at another bank. You work for the analyst first and foremost. 

How to assess analyst: Every analyst is known and good at different things. You have to decide whether that good thing is beneficial for your career goal.
