Recruiting as a Master's Student - Associate Roles

Hey all,

Going to be starting a master's degree at an ivy in the fall. I graduated from a school in my home country in may with a pretty solid gpa, and have finished a couple internships in strategy & operations roles. I'm wondering if I'll be at a disadvantage recruiting for summer 2027 associate roles as I don't see that many associates with master's degrees, but the roles are technically open to bachelor's/master's students. Would love to hear any input. Thanks!
