Internship for sophomore year?

Hello,

I am a sophomore hoping to get an internship with MBB summer of junior year. Freshman summer I managed to get a research grant for research related to M&A. What are some internships i should apply to to set me up for MBB summer junior year? I have heard of F500 internships but what type specifically, many seemed to be reserved for upperclassmen.

If you aggressively you can land a corp finance role or an fp&a role. Sometimes even if you network with multiple people, they will just tell you junior only. Other times it may not be junior only. Others it is junior only but networking goes well and get to apply anyway.
