What is the best way for me to land a sophomore IB internship?

Want honest critique for how to get it done, I know its possible for the boutique shops, right now I have a list of about 200-300 boutique banks in the New York area that I will be reaching out to see if they have any opportunities, but would my better bet be to try and network for a soph internship like this? Do I even have a chance to land a soph IB internship by reaching out to these smaller shops.
