SA 2026

Junior (international) at a T5 target here. I have good experience and connections from this summer at a great PE firm, but I'm struggling so much with getting a summer internship for 2026. I've had opportunities for R1 interviews at BB and other top PE firms and have applied pretty much everywhere but can't get any further. Am I cooked? Any advice? I go to a big business/econ school, and everyone around me has pretty much has their offer, but I feel so behind.
