Sophomore wondering about AM summer internship timeline

Sophomore at a T-50 nontarget (GPA 3.5, decent resume). Just wondering if I have any hope of securing any AM internship at all for next summer? I realize the bigger asset managers pretty much only hire people in their junior summers, but that's what I'm gunning for eventually.
And if I missed the boat for this coming summer, what are some good backup options I can shoot for to hopefully get to one of the big AMs after junior year?
