From PWM freshman internship to IBD

Hello all. Finished my freshman year at a small liberal arts college (4.0 gpa, great extracurriculars), interning at a BB PWM (GS/JPM/MS) and it looks like even top financial advisors don’t know folks from IBD. Did anyone try massively reaching out to IB MDs by using the directory with all the contacts? Maybe anyone has any advice. Thanks!
