Next steps guidance: how cooked am I from 1-10

I’m going into my third year at a semi target. I interned in PE my first year and then did ER/ consulting at a no name for 10 weeks in my second year (good training and good exposure) Where do I even go from here? Idec about not breaking into IBD at this point as I know it’s a long shot and I really don’t want to have to do a masters but how should I structure my game plan for applications and my final year in general? I’ve applied to basically everything on Trackr and just knuckling down on technicals
