How to get into public finance

I'm currently a Junior at a non-target school, but I have a high GPA. I know that I want to go into IB Public Finance but I've had no success in applying for Public Finance internships this summer. I also have the opportunity to graduate early in August. Does anyone have advice for how to get into the industry?
