Fried for IB 2027 SA

I’m a current 1st yr graduating in 3yrs with a degree in Economics from semi-target (Think UMich, UNC Chapel Hill, UVA, Emory) and got 0 BBs or EBs interviews and a few 1st rnds and supers at MMs. I currently have no offers and am not in any current processes.

Delaying graduation isn’t an option due to tuition costs. How can I secure a 2027 SA role? I’ve been cold emailing LMMs and smaller boutiques but have gotten very low reply rates. Am I cooked?
