Advice Please - Rising junior at College of New Jersey

I am rising junior at The College of New Jersey, which has a highly respected business program; nevertheless, I do not believe it is a "target" school. I have just recently finished an internship at Merrill Lynch in there Global Wealth Management Division. I am now beginning a PWM internship at UBS working with an FA team that manages about 75 clients. I am Bloomberg certified in all tracks and have a good GPA of 3.5.

I asking for any advice on how to improve my chances of getting of being considered for a solid internship next summer preferably in the NYC. I would prefer IB but honestly I will be happy working in any program where I will learn a lot about the financial services sector and work alongside people I will learn from and be able to network with. I am very interested in equities and investments and follow the market daily.

As one can see I have tried hard to get experience on my resume. Both internships on my resume are unpaid and I guess would be considered PWM; nonetheless, they are two solid names I have on there that show my desire to work in the financial services. I am very ambitious, love this job sector, and will do anything to improve my chances of getting a respected internship next summer that will allow me to learn. Any advice anyone can give me, whether it be on doing another internship during the school year, programs to research, accreditations/certifications that are good on a resume, etc. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
