What went wrong?

I am currently recruiting for IB from a target school with a strong GPA and a large amount of networking. I haven't gotten a single super day and am unsure where I went wrong. I was having great calls and getting referred to others but I have not been given a single opportunity to interview. Where do I go from here? Do I decide to recruit for consulting? Are there still things coming out?
