Advice late in the IB internship game? WSO academy a useful tool this late?

Junior at a semi-target. Still no internship for this summer. A combination of more or less untreated (now treated!) adhd and not truly understanding how much networking I actually needed to do meant I got my act together kinda late and didn’t get all far in interview process. Been applying to whatever small banks I can track down with open apps. I have an opportunity that can maybe work as a fallback if all else fails. Hopefully I didn’t get my shit together too late in the long run.

I didn’t persue WSO academy initially because of the aforementioned not understanding the networking process at the time and because I figured I could learn the technicals on my own. By the time I realized it might have been a good idea, I figured it was too late to be any help. Recently I took another look at it and figured I may as well check to see if it’s in any way useful for me at this stage.

Beyond that, I do definitely need advice if anyone has some for paths forward at this stage.
