Help! Trying to Get my foot into the door

Hello Guys,

So, I am currently a Junior studying finance wanting to go into Investment banking. I have been looking for internship for summer 2017 but so far I have had no luck. I have no previous experience in finance and I do not have much knowledge about financial modeling, LBO, and etc.

I am confused where to start from, what to do. I'd really appreciate if you guys could help out a little bit and guide me. What should I do to step up my game? What should I learn first? What books to read? or if there any online websites where I can go to learn?

Please let me know I would really really appreciate it.

Thank you in Advance.
