Breaking into physical Metals Trading out of non-target UG

Junior at a top 40 business school in northeastern US with unexceptional gpa (3.4) but strong extracurriculars and markets-related ops internship in addition to other work experience. My school is large, but hardly pushes S&T, let alone commodities. Nevertheless I'm super excited by the prospect of commodities trading. While I'm applying to every internship still available regardless of product due to how late to the game I am, I would love to break into metals. Generally non-ferrous seems more exciting, but I am not currently super decided.

Softs and energy generally seem to provide lots of commercial internships, but going into metals seems a little less clear. Is this because of the US's resource landscape or am I missing something? Is the advice to go into Ops if there are no TDPs to get into the same here?

I think that I portray genuine interest and excitement in my interviews, although am worried about the optics of being from an elitist city looking to move to most likely the midwest or south depending on the role. From what I understand I take that its most important to understand the supply chain and more generally being personable to transact and maintain relationships. Are there any ways you guys would recommend to best set myself up if I were unable to secure a commodities ops/trading internship this summer for a FT role? A side note is I am also definitely open to work outside of the US and have an EU passport. Thanks
