Graduate/Recent grad for MBB

About to graduate in a month and am second guessing everything. Realize that I want to give consulting a shot.

Got to final round for MBB internship but blew it, was somehow not thinking clearly and went the wrong direction in the case. 

Should I re-apply for MBB FT now as a soon-to-be graduate? (Is it possible even? In any geography?)

Or should I do something for a year or 2 (most likely in tech/startup/TMT fund) and then apply for FT?
