UW-Madison international student - possibility for internship?

Hi everyone, I am currently a junior at UW-Madison majoring in Finance.
I am also an international student.

My short-term goal for this year is to land an internship (anywhere in the United States in the Finance field) for summer 2018.
My ultimate goal career-wise is getting a job at a prestigious/well-known bank such as Citi and UBS.

However, I am currently unsure about which field I want to work in finance, nor have I had any experiences in the finance field nor any school experiences.
I tried getting in to Investment Banking Club and Consulting Club, but failed because of my interviews lol

My GPA is at 3.16. My GPA was high my freshman year (3.75) due to the easy classes I took and with low credit loads. However after I started business school, I did not focus on my studies and the subjects got harder which made me give up in the middle.

Now, two weeks before beginning my junior year, I feel hopeless.

I need some advice as to where to go from my current standing.
