How do my job prospects look (I banking)?

I'm a sophomore at a semi-target school, but still pretty reputable (Tufts) with a solid GPA (3.7). Best internship I could find for the summer was a very small RIA firm with about 10 people working there, half a billion in assets managed, and about 300 clients. Not a lot of quantitative research, but I will get exposed to some portfolio stuff and participate in client meetings. I also had an internship last summer at a small fund of funds doing some modeling.

This is after 6 months of networking, cold calling/emailing, and applying to literally thousands of jobs. I had a bunch of interviews, but only got selected for one position finance related. Do you guys think I'm on track to get a good junior year gig at a top investment bank next year? Or will my lack of experience at reputable places hurt?
