CUHK reputation for IB and corporate banking roles in Hong Kong?

I think the title says it all. I'm a current international student studying the IBBA programme with concentration in Finance at CUHK. I have a corporate banking internship experience at a top 20 European bank, but not at HK (at my home country). I'm trying to get another internship next summer at Hong Kong. It doesn't have to be BB since my ultimate goal is not to break into BB but to actually work in the DCM industry in any reputable financial institution or multinational bank. My major GPA is 3.78. I've also seen a lot posts saying CUHK is not as reputable as people think but many local students told me that CUHK is still very reputable at least in Hong Kong, even above HKUST. Any opinions on that? And also any advice on what I should do as an international student trying to get another IB/CIB internship role next summer?

Thanks in advance!
