Goldman to MBB? Seeking Advice...

Hi! I'm a senior at an Ivy with an offer from Goldman AWM. Want to make transition to MBB.

I've had superdays for McKinsey and Bain as a sophomore and junior respectively but wasn't able to secure the offer. Is there any way to lateral in my first year at GS? What is the most common non-MBA path? I'm on full financial aid at my undergrad and can't really afford MBA as I also support my family with my salary. Would appreciate any insights!
