Need Advice - Senior at non-target with relevant internship experiences who can’t find a full-time role

I’m a senior at a non-target school with a solid presence on the street who does not have anything lined up. I graduate in December of this year and have been applying to as many roles as possible but have. It has been getting any interviews. All the contacts at MM and BB banks I’ve networked with said their firms aren’t doing full-time recruiting, so that puts me in a tough spot.

I have two search fund internships and a 5-6 man boutique IB experience. What should I do to better my chances of landing a full-time role? I am also debating on applying to a top MSF, but I feel like it would be a waste of money, but the rebranding sounds like it would help?

Looking forward to your comments!
