Advice for a desperate senior

Hey guys,

In short, I am a desperate senior, would be huge if anyone has an idea of any firms still recruiting for FT.

In long, I come from a no name school near NY. I have a solid GPA and two internships. First was a middle office role at a large AM firm second was front office at a small PE firm. I initially was cocky and looked at the top IBanks given my PE experience which I thought was unique. Went in for "informational interviews" at several BBs. Learned I am not so special as I got zero interviews. Only interview to date was a middle market IBank who decided they didnt want an undergrad at this time. I have built some contact at larger firms, but of course that ship has sailed. Haven't been able to network too well at smaller level firms and have very little resources from my school. Basically screwed in the short term it seems. Not in a financial position to just go to grad school. Now I am expanding search to any half decent position I can find. Anybody have any recommended strategies to find a half respectable position by graduation this spring?
