BB IBD SA Sophomore

Hello all,

I am a rising sophomore hoping to work in banking next summer. My understanding is that BBs take very few sophomores. I was wondering what are the steps I should be taking (besides networking, technicals, and reading) to best position myself to land a position next summer. Any advice is greatly appreciated. For context, I am non diversity, target (H/W/P), and have a good GPA.
