No Luck in Summer 2024 Internship Recruting Cycle

Hey guys. I'm a Junior at a nontarget with a 3.5+ cumulative and major GPA. I've applied to every internship I can find that I find interesting; IB, Sales and Trading, Commerical Banking, etc. (100+). I've also been able to leverage my networking into a couple of first-rounders and eventually second-rounders. I still haven't secured an offer for next summer and I'm not sure where to go from here. Most of my networking calls result in them saying to apply online or saying they've finished recruiting. I'd love some advice on where to go from here. Thanks.

Omnis quae et sit consequuntur unde et. Quas eum dolorum nam cum voluptatem cumque eos. Et et sit eum sunt.

Consequuntur neque veniam accusamus quod vitae quidem est. Cupiditate aut repellat rerum. Dolor itaque modi blanditiis veniam expedita.

Nemo temporibus ipsa officiis fugiat earum rerum enim. Nesciunt modi est non at inventore assumenda. Soluta qui fugiat repellat quis delectus quidem. Quo ipsum dicta non laborum.
