Need advice and guidance. Next steps during freshmen year and summer after

I will soon be a freshmen at a target school in the fall. IB has been in my radar for a while and I have done all the business and economics/finance clubs at my high school and managed a portion of its endowment fund. I have been working with a school alum in LevFin, putting an online course together. Through which I have learned the life cycle of refinancing and direct lending deals, building comps, credit analysis, capital structure work, etc. I have also completed a financial modeling course.

Do banks even hire freshmen summer analysts? If so which ones? Is my resume competitive with sophomores and I could apply to those internships?

I would appreciate any advice or guidance. Thank you
