What to even apply to at this point

Current senior at a semi-target without any job offers. I have one summer of decent AM experience and an average GPA. Right now, I'm at a total loss for what jobs I should even be applying to this late in the recruiting cycle. I know IB, AM, and consulting roles are mostly filled or are in the final stages of the interview process, and have no idea what I should even be looking for at this point. Are most corporate finance roles already filled? Just trying to end up in any business/investing role that has decent long-term career options at this point.
