Hello all.
I am graduating with a Msc in finance from a non target school with minimal finance experience. I have had a lot of failure when it comes to breaking into ER and getting a role. Can anyone offer a piece of advice on what I should to to get an analyst role?
Any feedback is appreciated.

ithiombiano16, bummer your thread hasn't had a response yet. Maybe one of these threads could point you in the right direction:

You're welcome.
Seriously speaking, aim lower. You made a mistake shelling out money for an MFin at a non-target if you wanted to be FO in an IB.
Maybe try get into B4 (audit/transaction services/corpfin) and think about moving over when you have your ACA.
Network, Network, Network. Send emails and LinkedIn messages to anyone in research you can find, particularly ones that are an alum of the schools you went to. Research is far less structured than banking recruiting (even more so at MM and boutiques) so having someone on a research team at the firm that has an opening can get you into an active search.
Since you have little finance experience a good way to get a response is to include a model and stock pitch in your emails which will show your both passionate about research and can do the work.
Stock write-up, attaching a three-statement model that demonstrates you know the business drivers
Network and keep in touch with your connections (sending over articles and sharing your views on stock-moving events in that sector, don't overdo it tho).
