Career Advice - Currently at Target school with 3.6+ GPA

Hello Fellow Monkeys,

Im currently at a Target school with a 3.6+ GPA (quant major) who is looking to do investment banking after Junior Year (currently in Soph). I have banking exp from last summer and applied to several banks and got final rounds at several Tier 1 (GS/MS/JPM) banks only to get rejected as they were programs predominately reserved for Juniors. What should I try to do this summer to best position myself for a BB IBD/S&T/IMD internship after junior year?
