What should a rising junior do?

Hello guys,
so I really would like to work in investment banks. In order to do so, I heard it is critical that I land an internship before i graduate from college. Thus, I would like to get an internship first. However, it seems there are several obstacles, and was hoping that some of you could help me out. There was a recent i banking forum in our school, and asked some of the representatives there about intern opportunities. The truth was that they rarely choose any interns for rising juniors. I am currently a sophomore, and is hoping to get an intership next summer break. Are there any ways this can be done? or should I perhaps shape my resume through that summer to get an internship next summer as a rising senior?

I am currently attending UC Berkeley, has a pretty high gpa (over 3.9), involved in several clubs and leadership positions. Also, was wondering if the fact that I am an international student would affect my chances at landing an ibanking internship.

Thanks,
