Where to intern?

First of all some infos:
EU student;
Starting MSc in Finance this September (here BSc+MSc is almost mandatory to get a work in finance, similar to UK BSc; our version of UK's MSc is the Master's Degree) in a top public school (not-target, even if some people are in GS/MS and JP).
Getting internship with BSc is almost impossibile due to banks asking for at least a MSc or a last year BSc at a top-tier target (but still, almost no one can get in this early).

This said, I'm starting to look around for Summer Internships 2025, I'm already excluding BBs and EBs for obvious reasons.
What bank can I try apply to for my first experience?
Have been watching to these 2 lately:

Do you guys have something else to suggest? My aim would be to gather some experience to combine with hard networking to try getting in a BB/EB at end of MSc or go get a Master's Degree at top-tier target and try to break in.
