Graduating in May 2022 - What do I do?

I was unable to land a SA 2021 internship. I either made it to the superday and got dinged or I got dinged after the first round. I personally don't think it's my interview skills but mostly just a rough year. I have a PE and IB internship under my belt, a 3.7 GPA and part of my school's investment fund. What should I do? I plan on recruiting for off-cycle, if that doesn't work out then I'll recruit for FT and if that doesn't work should I go do an MBA?
