Applying for internships

I am a Finance major at non target with a 3.76 GPA and have begun the application process but am stuck. Since no IBs recruit at my school and our career center is sub-par I feel that I am on my own and need help. Is applying online my only option or are there other ways I just don't know about. I feel like IBs will all but ignore the online applications they receive so I'm looking for alternative routes. I have a few connections who I hope will help me out but am looking to apply to as many IBs as I can. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

As I'm sure most people on this forum will tell you, even non-targets will have alumni in banking and you should get a list of finance alumni from your school or even if you just have to google the name of your school + _______ (-insert ibank). You should hurry as well, and make sure to look up the page of boutiques.

Best of luck, Paradoxical
