Am I screwed at this point as a Non-Target in the Job Search

I am a second semester sophomore student at a non-target in the Midwest. Been grinding my ass off on technicals and trying to network, as I do not come from any kind of finance background. At this point (mid April '24), I have not heard anything from a single firm regarding first rounds. Been applying to everything from LMM to BB in midwest and the coasts and trying to network into the firms I apply to. 

Am I cooked?

Where do I go from here, assuming I do not get any opportunities?


Thanks

 

Been doing one this spring semester, been striking out pretty bad for this summer as well. an RJ O’Brien internship is kinda my last chance for summer ’24
