Advice for off cycle 2025 SA recruitment

Currently a sophomore at a semi target for houston energy IB. Got very close to offers (final stage) from multiple BBs and top MM banks, but it looks like I’m gonna close out the recruitment season with nothing. It sucks but I’m not letting it get to me; I’m still very motivated and confident that I can get into houston ib. I don’t want to come off as bigheaded but I genuinely believe my resume and interview skills are at a higher standard than others who have gotten offers. My question would be how realistic is it to recruit off cycle? Should I give up now and start looking at industry/other finance internships for 2025, or continue to grind this out? Any general advice for off cycle recruitment, esp houston, would be greatly appreciated. DMs open.

 

So that would be a realistic route? I only know of a couple banks that have their recruiting season in the fall.
