Are you graduating this semester? Because, I think part of the reason I didn't get more interviews was that many of the jobs were looking for people to start immediately, and I couldn't start for six months (June was six months away at the time). So if you're graduating, just keep applying. I think you have a better chance of getting a job when you are closer to the date which you can start.
Also, as a diversification strategy, I would apply to some summer internship programs. With that under your belt, you'll be in a better position to get a job in the fall.
