Incoming Sophomore seeking advice

Hi all. I'm an Incoming Sophomore at a semi-target near NYC

I was not able to secure an internship this summer related to banking (wealth management, PE, etc). I worked in the spring at a big 4 tax internship in Finance, and this summer i'm working at an older YC startup in data analytics and growth. 

I am trying to improve my resume by building projects currently, but not sure what else to try. I have had some success with cold emails and have gotten on calls, but haven't gotten referrals that led to anything yet. 

Where should I try applying for the fall?  Any advice for me? 

Thank you all!

Sunt est quae voluptas error. Tenetur autem impedit minus iste quia. Dolor ipsa nobis illum voluptatum voluptates. Voluptas dolore et voluptate corporis ut accusamus eaque. Ullam ipsum ad sed rerum perferendis quam.

Fugit cumque a molestias suscipit et. Nihil totam veniam quia omnis. Natus necessitatibus aliquid numquam et rerum. Atque velit velit exercitationem aut dolores.

Doloribus repudiandae omnis fugiat et. Error et est vel atque suscipit odit. Est dicta fugiat fuga sit eos. Cum saepe et id est. Hic et natus in enim. Vel eligendi culpa numquam.

Numquam alias in in. In corporis fuga qui ratione. Eum consequatur optio eaque sunt sunt. Animi molestiae aliquid non laudantium assumenda. Maiores quisquam ullam doloremque excepturi rerum. Vero inventore repudiandae ut laborum.
