I've been browsing this forum for several months without posting, but thank you to everyone. You have all been very helpful.
I'll get straight to the point. I'm a sophomore at a semi target with a GPA on the lower end of 3.7x. Freshman year I interned with the government of a foreign country (fluent in the language) and this summer I'll be interning at a company in the top quarter of the f100. My internship begins in June so I am planning to do some free work at a local PWM shop for the entire month of May. I have also been networking for the past few months and I am involved with several extra curricular activities.
Should I be doing anything else? All advice is welcome. Thank you in advance.

You're resume sound much better than mine did. Keep doing what you're doing. Make sure to know your technicals because you will start by being interviewed over the phone by junior bankers (analysts/associates), who try and push you. Once you make it to superday technicals aren't as important, because senior bankers (MDs) care more about fit. That being said, you can't get to a superday without crushing the phone interviews.
Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely hit the technicals hard.
It sounds like you're a in a good position. You need to do two things: work through interview guides (I used the BIWS one) and network. If you spend your free time doing those two and craft an excellent resume (I had good luck with WSO's resume service), you should be set. Good luck.
