FT Undergrad Opportunities Dried Up?

I'm graduating this spring from a semi-target and am struggling to find equity research opportunities that don't require work experience. I'm most likely sitting for CFA L1 in June. Do banks typically open up ER recruiting in the spring? Any other advice would be appreciated.
