What are my chances?

Hey all, just wanted to get an opinion before recruitment for SA 2025 fully kicks off. I'm a sophomore with a 3.5 GPA at a school that's known for extremely hard grading(I also didn't really study freshman year as I did not know what I wanted to do which set me back). I managed to secure a PE internship my freshman summer and managed to secure an IB internship at a small boutique firm for the upcoming summer. I'm also an international student, so the list of sponsoring banks is fairly limited. Wanted to know where I should focus my efforts (BB vs EB (afraid GPA might be a little low) vs MM)? Thank you!
