Advice

Interviewing at firms the last 9 months, got to the final round at one bank and shut down, told I'm late to the game. Currently sophomore at non-target school, solid GPA and extracurriculars but can't seem to find any more ways to reach out to people for internships next summer. Pretty much given up on gigs for this summer, and people I've been chatting with tell me I'm even late for next summer's applications. WTF. Stuck in a rut, looking for the names of any value firms/funds that are relatively close to Boston area that I could reach out to a PM on LinkedIn or whatever. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Learned a lot from the content on here already, but feeling a lack of motivation to keep cold-texting for next summer. Cheers all.
