What to do

I am sure there are many like me, however I am nearing my junior year and still do not have a summer internship. I go to a non-target school in the south, however our finance department has grown to become more impressive over the past few years in terms of placing students in solid firms.

I have struck out in multiple super days and interviews. I assume this is because of not being able to leave a lasting memory on the employers that I network with because I have done ample amount of networking with multiple people per firm.

The question is: now what? With almost every IB, PE, PWM, etc. finishing recruiting, what should I do? Are there still decent options out there or should I just focus on next years networking (although I know without an internship this makes a full time damn near impossible). Any words of wisdom are appreciated.
