FT Last minute help

I'm a senior studying economics (theoretical not business) at a target school. I have a 3.5 and conducted marketing research with an esteemed professor this past summer, and interned at 2 buy side firms for 2018-2020 summers (first one is HF with 17bil aum, second is asset manager with ~40 bil aum). I understand that a lot of the full time opportunities have passed. Without a corporate job this past summer, this year's recruiting cycle was tough. Has anyone been in this situation before and managed to get a full time offer in IB/PE/Consulting this late in the game? Currently interviewing at 3 smaller private equity shops and in consideration for Point72 academy. I’m a women which could qualify me for any diversity programs/points lol. Would appreciate any advice!!
