Worried about post sophomore summer internship

I'm a rising sophomore at a HYPSM school, I initially wanted to do tech and am majoring in CS, but honeslty, I'm interning in the software space right now and don't like it. I've had prior experience in things related to finance (VC) and am hopefully trying to find an IB or PE or HF or Global Markets internship for next summer. I feel super behind my classmates, some of whom already have offers locked up at GS and BAML. Can I still get a big name internship next summer? Any tips on how to make this happen--I'm a bit new to the finance recruiting space. Thank you!
