Looking for a Sophomore Summer Investment Banking Internship

Currently, I am a second-year at a target school with a high GPA. I have applied to every BB program for Sophomores that I quality for. However, now I am not sure what else I can do. I have sent well over a hundred cold emails but have rarely gotten a response other than "come back next year". I'm not really sure what else I can do and what firms in either NYC or Chicago would even consider me. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks everyone.
