feeling screwed about 2027 ib recruitment

I'm from a target school for the top 3 BBs, have finance experience, 3.8 gpa stem major, but haven't gotten a super day from any BB.

only interviews I've gotten are Lincoln International and RBC. I networked (5-10 calls per bank) with 1-3 referrals or really great calls at each.

really upset at myself for "failing" and am really lost as to which firms are still recruiting so I know which ones to give up on and which to network more aggressively at. looking for advice or anyone in a similar boat to share experiences
