Chances at GS ER Singapore?

As the title goes - what are my chances at a GS ER FT position in Singapore?

Me in a nutshell: - Target school in Asia (Country X, not China/HK/Singapore) - Native fluency in Language X and English, working proficiency of another major Asian language (not Chinese) - Pre-college experience living in Southeast Asia - No (absolutely zero) finance background - MBB consulting internship experience

My clear downsides are my GPA and lack of finance background, but I was hoping these would be somewhat made up for by my school, language skills, and internship experience. I've previously been interviewed for a BB internship in Country X (got rejected), and was called in for an intern interview at another BB in Country X (which I turned down due to prior commitments).

Considering your competition, you'll have a hard time. Depending on how low your GPA is, I'll say your only chance is through your network.
