Did not get an IB offer from a target, what now?

I am a junior at a target with two summers of extremely relevant internships and am in the top ECs at my school. I am super bummed out because I worked really hard to get to where I am, but my GPA at the target school is low (~3.2/3).

I did not end up getting a BB or boutique offer from anywhere that recruits on campus or through my personal network. I have literally spent thousands of hours over the last two years working towards this goal and now don't even know what to do.

I still want to break into banking, but it seems like even most MM firms and boutiques are done recruiting. Any advice here would be greatly appreciated.
