When to start reaching out for soph summer internship?

I'm a soph right now at a west coast target school. Starting to think about this summer and am wondering what the general procedure is for reaching out to small regional boutiques in SF/LA? I already had a relevant finance internship last summer and am doing a wsp modeling course, so want to target actual IB this summer. Any tips?

 

I'd like to know this too. I'm finishing up my second year at a community college in Westchester and am applying to about 7 targets-semi targets. I'll get into at least 3 but I won't know until March so I've been hesitant to seek banking internships even though I'll have been accepted to a good school by summer. I currently intern at a healthcare consulting/advisory boutique for PE and investment banks and could get a PWM at MS this summer but I really wanna do banking so any advise would be helpful
