Tips for a student

Hi everyone,

I'm currently a third year in a BBA program at a semi - target in Ontario. I'm currently in the co-op program but Covid really screwed my chances of landing an internship in finance so I took a two work term commitment at a small accounting firm, which was better then no work experience. I have no intention in staying in accounting so I'm brushing up my technicals, reading some books, and networking with alumni. I was just curious, what else can I do to increase my chances for my last work term or when I graduate? 

Note: My grades are at a 3.75. I have strong ECs with executive leadership position in clubs. I was an equity analyst at my school's investment club and I was also a finalist for numerous case competitions.
