No R1s yet - any advice?

Hey, I'm a soph at a target state school (think Cal/Mich) and I haven't gotten any R1s ye except the GS hirevue. I don't really know what more to do now - I feel like i've applied to every possible place. Are there any other firms (except Oppenheimer) that are still recruiting/haven't released apps yet? For context I'm a 3.7GPA Math+Econ major with a decent resume and I've done quite a bit of networking.
