Internships

Hello,

I am a sophomore at a well known university and I am trying to break into investment banking. I have been looking for an entry level finance internship, but eveywhere I look it requires some sort of financial experience already. I come from a small town so there is really no opportunity. I have begun to learn financial modeling and prepping for interview questions. I feel like the window is closing very fast and if anyone can offer advice on what types of internships I should be looking for or any that they know of, that would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
