First Year Student Grind

I’m a first year uni student in Toronto. I know it’s not common for first years to secure an internship but that isn’t stopping me from trying. I’m at the point where I’m cold emailing boutiques as I’ve tried most of the BB’s and all the top 6. My question is how would an internship outside of investment banking at a top 6 look if I secured one? Say financial advising at a regional branch etc. Thanks everyone!
