Might be screwed for 2026 internship (Capital Markets)

I've been applying since January and sending out coffee chat invites through LinkedIn and email. Still, I haven't had any updates on my application for many of the internships I have applied to, and it's March. I have already lost the race, and it's killing me inside. I have no idea what to do. I have scheduled a meeting with the career center for advice, but right now, I dread it, especially when I go on LinkedIn and see that people are already posting their offers.  Feel free to comment if anyone has any tips on recruiting and the timeline for capital markets.
