Need Advice on Summer 2021 IB or AM Internship!

I'm a current sophomore at a non-target school. As of now I have no internship experience. My internship search for Summer 2020 has not gone the way I had hoped and currently I've only interviewed for summer internships at Northwestern Mutual and Aflac. I am unsure if these companies will even keep their programs open with the current pandemic, but I am still trying to get any internship for this summer. I have also started applying for Summer 2021 Internships in various IB and AM roles. I have a 3.6 GPA and I have been trying to network on LinkedIn to little avail. Any suggestions on how I can best situate myself for landing a solid internship for Summer 2021?
