Tips for incoming sophomore internship?

I am an incoming soph at a west coast semi target school. Currently I am doing an internship at a private equity fund in New York. What do you guys recommend I do for my soph summer. Can I afford to wait until the end of the summer and check or should I be actively looking now at the BB programs that are open? If so, which banks allow non-diversity soph programs.
