Looking for advice on re-recruiting for FT

Hello,

Looking for advice on how to approach FT 2026 recruiting. I’m a junior doing econ at a semi-target (think mid Ivy like Columbia/UPenn/Brown) looking to land an IB role in NYC. My resume includes around 3.8 GPA, no formal club leadership roles, but I do have an internship experience. For SA 2024, I interned at a family office fund focusing on long/short equities in APAC. For SA 2025, I unfortunately couldn’t recruit for NYC offices due to a severe illness but ended up securing a mid-tier BB (think Citi/BAML) IB role in APAC. It is a 10 week generalist role. 

My goal is to secure a FT26 IB role in NYC after graduation. I’m wondering how best to position myself for full-time recruitment. Any advice on how to navigate this process and maximize my chances for a FT IB role would be greatly appreciated!
