Hey, so I was in the same boat as you last summer around this time, and I think the most important thing is just not to give up - send out a ton of emails to smaller firms like boutique IBs, and lesser known PE and VCs in your city now. I got a PE internship last summer literally at the end of April (Canadian uni summers start in May), and that was through desperate cold calling.
