Need internship advice - what to aim for next summer?

I just finished my freshman year at a top target with a good GPA (3.75+) and am currently working at a boutique in a major city (NY, Chicago, LA). I have the whole deal - fraternity, sports, investment club. I am a male non-URM.

What are some good options for sophomore summer?

I have a bunch of MM's on my list as well as elite boutiques (PWP) but what else should I be aiming for? Are the BB sophomore programs even worth a shot for a male non-URM? Ideally I would love to work at GS LA but that seems like a long shot.

Any advice guys?
