One of the reasons you are having a hard time is that for all intents and purposes, you are still a sophomore. You won’t be able to graduate until December, 2013, which means that companies won’t be able to extend FT offers to you at the end of this summer.

Keep applying to companies… you shouldn’t stop applying until you secure a position of some kind. For this summer, consider opportunities outside of finance, including jobs that aren’t internships. With good application materials and a solid GPA, you should have more luck next cycle, when companies will know that they can extend a FT offer at the end of the summer.
