Bulge Bracket Application Question

Hey everyone, I'm a sophomore who applied to the sophomore leadership programs for a lot of the Bulge Brackets, and was wondering if it is practically impossible to get into a bulge bracket through the general admission.

For ex: if there is a general 2018 Equity Research/Summer Analyst/Sales and Trading internship, is it practically impossible for a Sophomore to get the internship?
