Cold Internship Advice

Am a first year at a non target and am trying to get an internship during this semester at some local PE/IB firms. What would be your recommendations in order to optimize my chances? Spoke to a couple of partners but they said they are not taking interns at this time because they have no deals.

Appreciate it and thank you!
