go to the career fair in october, ask everyone there about internships, even though they won't be thinking about summer hires yet.

go to info sessions run by companies in december.

apply to everything on tigertracks in january/february.

career services is not as useless as they seem, bring your resume to them for proofreading and advice on wording/formatting/etc.

Thanks for the advice. Is it a lot harder to get an internship as a sophomore as opposed to a junior?

as a sophomore without connections, you should be focusing mainly outside BB firms, but can definitely still get something if you are knowledgeable in interviews and have a good gpa and relevant coursework on your resume (eg taking eco 362 this fall) so that you get them. also, having even a mediocre finance-related internship now will help in the search next year.
