Nothing will, by itself, "suffice". I've posted something similar so I'll re-paste it below which I hope is helpful - good luck!
___
1) Be involved in finance / economics-related societies and attend their events, particularly career-related
2) Sounds like you didn't do a Spring Week which you should have (unless you have a 4-year course - I presume you would've mentioned it otherwise). Don't make the same mistake with internships. Apply early and apply broadly
3) Get a role / leadership position in a society, or found one
4) Network A LOT - try to find people who you have something in common with (same hometown, university, course, etc.) and be personal
5) As far as summer courses go maybe look at WSO or BIWS - not a formal course as such, but something to educate and prepare you for assessment centres, and indicate some interest in the sector
6) Find some extra-curricular (ideally, relevant) activities for yor CV
7) Some of the societies I mentioned above run investment or stock-pitching programs. It's been a while since I graduated so, honestly, I don't know how these work, but I see them increasingly on CVs
8) You probably stand a good chance with Consulting so do explore this too.
I probably forgot some things so hopefully others add.
