Jefferies Interview Time Frame?

Hello, I recently decided that I wanted to try and get into equity research and applied to Jefferies equity research with an internal referral. I'm in my last year of my masters in science of finance at a 7-10th ranked school. I would assume slightly below avg. resume for people applying (pres of investments club in undergrad, internships in finance (but not IB/equity) since freshman year, research with my school, 3.54GPA) I was wondering if someone out there with more knowledge wouldn't mind telling my my likelihood of getting an interview opportunity, and when I may be contacted? Just looking for a general idea of what I have the best chance of getting into, ideally IB or ER at either BB or MM

Thank you in advance!
