trying to break into ib or asset management

Hi I am currently a sophomore at Ohio State trying to break into IB. I could not get an IB internship for this summer but I still got a business analyst internship at a fortune 500 company for the summer. I have a 3.85 right now and academically I am doing pretty well. Is there anything I can do to help my chances of breaking into IB for 2022. I already have the Bloomberg market concepts certifications. Is there anything else I can do over the summer to help boost my resume? Any certifications or courses? I have been looking into some financial modeling courses for the summer to help look better. Thanks in advance for any advice.
