Chicago SA 2021

I was wondering if anybody could give me any insights on companies to apply to for next summer. Doesn't necessarily have to be IB. I have a commercial banking internship this summer and I would like a banking/CF internship next summer in the Chicago area. I am more interested in IB than anything but I know I might have to work my way up due to my school being so unknown. I have applied to all the BBs in Chicago, as well as Baird, Blair, UBS, etc. I have a 4.0 GPA but I go to a nontarget so I have not had luck with the application process. Anyone from the Chicago area that can recommend some companies? I am going to apply to United Airlines, McDonald's, and Walgreens for corporate finance once their applications open.

Also, anybody know anything about Deloitte's IBD?

Thanks for any insight
