Junior in College Seeking Recruiting Advice

I am a junior at a semi-target university who is seeking advice on how to recruit off-cycle for a summer 2027 internship, ideally in IB, or something on buyside at a PE firm or in something like private credit. I went through the IB on-cycle recruiting process but had other personal things going on that prevented me from being able to fully commit to it. I have a perfect GPA, two substantive internships in finance, and a good knowledge of technicals and also know how to network and hold a good conversation. I just don’t know where to look or how to approach recruiting for next summer now that the on-cycle timeline has passed. Would appreciate any advice on navigating this
