To keep it short, I go to a top target and was rejected from most SA24 roles. I had a couple of SDs and a bunch of 1Rs and nothing worked out. There's definitely something wrong with me. I don't want to waste my time dwelling on these rejections and I was wondering what other roles I should look at over the summer/early fall.

Boutiques recruit in the fall. You can just try to get some corporate finance roles for summer 2024 and recruit FT roles. You have time.
Do you know which boutiques by any chance ??
I’m not talking about EBs. I would think all of them are done by now. Boutiques as in regional boutiques. Look up who’s still recruiting on handshake or some other job board.
You should "dwell on the rejections" and reflect on what you did wrong, because your chance of landing an offer should increase by am exponent each SD. Fix your deficiency rather than just applying for something else and then making the same mistakes over and over.
Do that and try again next year.
I get it and you’re right, but next recruitment cycle one would be in their junior year, would they still be able to land internships designed for 2026 class or is at that point full time applications. Would love to hear your thoughts
Recognize it’s not the end of the world. Plenty of people pivot later on, so figure out how to do that. In the interim, do you have an internship? If not get one, target boutiques and start networking. Also, take time for introspection.
