what summer options do I have at this stage?

Currently at a semi-target school with a 3.6, as a sophomore. I should have ~3.5 by the time I apply to ib sa as a junior.

I had a couple of banking interviews but didn't get either position. I am currently in the pipeline to be interviewed by 3-4 boutique investment banks who start interviewing in march-april. Other then this, I have no leads. Although I have as much experience as most of the applicants, It is very likely that these internships will go to either juniors or graduating seniors... If I don't get one of these positions, what options do I have? I feel very uncertain about what I'll be doing this summer.

Thanks
