You're doing fine. Might be a bit hard to get an internship after your sophomore year.

As you probably know, all BBs recruit for summer analysts on Jan/Feb. For prop trading, JSC and DRW did campus recruiting when I was there. Apply to other "legitimate" prop trading firms (SIG, GETCO... you can search them all here) online, I got interviews this way. Definitely keep in touch with that guy at Citadel. Once you secure an interview, it's all up to you at that point.

"Heard on the Street" by Tim Crack is pretty much the bible for preparing for trading interviews.
