How can I get a decent internship with my current situation.

My name is Alex, and I am an upcoming Junior at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. My school is by no means a big school, so it is definitely not a target or non-target school for these big banks. I am a finance major, and currently hold a GPA of 3.5. Could anyone give me some advice on how I can realistically score an IB internship somewhere for next summer? It has been my goal since Sophomore year of High School and any advice would be greatly appreciated.
