Is it worth it for me?

So a lot of banks have begun releasing applications for internships. As a rising sophomore who is non-diversity and has no connections, should I even bother to apply? Also, can you apply more than once? If I apply this year and get rejected, are there any banks that don't allow a second application?

There's literally no downside in applying year after year. In fact it actually helps you as it shows continued interest in the company. Second, there is a better chance of getting an internship if you go to a target than if you are a diversity candidate. Just FYI.
