Full time positions at large firms with no prestigious finance internships

How screwed am I if I didnt intern at any prestigious big financial firms during the three of my summer during college (freshman year i interned at a startup, second year a policy think tank, third year a private wealth management office - just small private company nothing fancy). i have decent finance related ECs, very good grades (3.8+), some relevant finance classes, and wants to look for full time position, probably in investment management at big firms like any of the large buy side (blackrock macquarie etc), BB or boutique. If u have any advice or experiences please share! thanks
