Breaking into MM in London

Hello everyone, I'm hoping somebody can help me. I have two standing MSc programs: Imperial MSc finance and accounting, and Esade MSc finance. I am fully aware that my GPA (3.15) and lack of work experience make it impossible to break into a BB, even those schools are not very high on recruiting. I've seen a few from Imperial MSc finance and accounting working at MM banks (william blair, nomura, rothchild..etc)
So my question is: Is it possible to break into MM banks in London through networking? Would really appreciate your help, Thanks!!
