BIG 4 to BB?: Can I do it?

Hi all,
I am 21 years of age looking for a full time analyst role or internship with a BB bank. I am wondering where I should look in terms of company or just general career advice.

Experience: KPMG Tax Intern (received full time offer but trying to transition into KPMG Advisory)
Sales and Analyst Intern at a no name firm. Only skill learned was Bloomberg Terminal.

Education: I go to a semi target in my region and have a 3.61 GPA, 3.83 Major GPA. Am doing a concentration in Finance.

I have one full year of school left and am applying a year out. I don't care if I have to do another internship or if I get a FT role.

What I want: I'm aiming for an analyst role, although NOT necessarily on the IB side so to speak. I have a friend who works at Merill & does 40-50 hour work weeks on the non credit analyst side.

Any and all career advice is welcome.
