junior year summer backup plans?

I'm a finance major and i was crossing my fingers for an analyst position but knew my luck was tight because I haven't had any real finance experience. I've worked at a corporate office at what was supposed to be a "finance and accounting" internship, but it was mostly accounting based, with very little finance involved. I had one interview (HSBC) but I don't think it's going to get me anywhere.

I know it's getting late, and most companies are done making their selections for summer interns, but any advice as to where I may be able to get some finance experience this summer?

My GPA is decent: 3.65. (you can guess where from) I'm also a international business and marketing major. (does this hurt me?) Other than the finance/accounting internship that I've had on & off for a year, I've also interned for a small entrepreneurial company and had a couple of jobs. I did an exchange program last semester that people seem to be somewhat impressed with during interviews...

At this point I really want to get something on my resume so I'm in a better position when it comes time to apply for full-time positions. Please advise.....
