Can anybody tell me if it is possible to get an internship or analyst position in IBD or equity research (equity research is prefered considering I am an INTJ) if I am coming from a non-target school of the Rutgers kind? I am currently a junior interning in Ops at a sub-par firm ( in my opinion and probably most on this forum) and everyday I'm bored to tears with with unchallenging work. I have a 3.97 GPA and military experience. Seems from what I've gathered so far that all the BBs are target - school whores for anything other than Ops.

You sure no alums from your school are in FO? If you go to a school similar to Rutgers, there should be plenty of alums in the positions you're looking for. If your school doesn't have a formal alumni book, you just gotta be creative with how you find names... linkedin would be a good place to start if you haven't already searched through it.
Alumni book is a good idea
