My BA is in Econ, from a small liberal arts school. I am finishing my MA in Policy + Management from a top 5 school this summer(August). I was wondering if it's too late to apply for investment banking. Also, I have no previous internships in IBs. But my academic coursework in BA and MA is relevant. Do I have a chance in breaking in IB as an analyst? Please advise.
