Still no SA - am I screwed?

I'm a junior at a non-target but decent private school (think like villanova / BC) and don't have anything for the summer yet. I've been cold e-mailing/calling boutiques and have only really gotten one or two leads out of it so far - the rest have all been firm and unwilling to budge with their rejections, even turning down unpaid help.

I know I can't do nothing for the summer so what should I be doing at this point?

 

Same position as both of guys, non-target private in NYC(Fordham, St.Johns Pace) . I've notice that IB and S&T recurring is done for summer, but i've been told that BB throughout summer recruit interns for GWM with little pay. So don't give up we still got a chance when F.T season comes. No need to panic until next year when we have no offer after graduation.

 

@ meph unfortunately not, just a school of similar "prestige"

A very small boutique M&A advisory firm (but not a true investment bank) that works with small privately owned companies has gotten back to me and seems interested so fortunately I may actually have something to do.

 

Im even more screwed. I am graduating and have no offer. Have networked like crazy and am still working on it as we speak. I am now cold calling more middle market and botiques in Washington. I have been on several meetings / made some great contacts but they dont really lead anywhere. Even though i have been totally willing to relocate anywhere and get my foot in the door it seems to not help. Any other suggestions if my calling completely fails from Washington?

 

Thought I'd post an update: just received a paid SA offer from a boutique today.

Moral of the story is never stop trying, even when it's June.
