Where can I get investing experience aside from HFs?

Im a sophomore BBA student at Ross (Michigan) and I want to intern somewhere this summer that'll give me experience with investing. I've been trading since I was in middle school but now I want to learn the more conventional Wall St side of things. I'm applying to HF internships but as you guys know they're crazy competitive. What are some other fields I could try to recruit for where I'd get experience in investing/valuing companies? Some friends have mentioned Wealth Management but I feel like there have got to be other opportunities out there I just don't know about - any advice?
