Seattle University is definitely a non-target for IB. That said, the network will be key here. Definitely reach out to those people in the fall of your sophomore year, or even the smaller firms to see if they would take you for this summer or next summer. The more experience you can get the better.
3.6 is not really good enough to stand out at a non-target - I would aim for a 3.8, at least early on. Take easy classes next semester to boost your GPA if needed.
As for BB chances, it really depends if these connections you have are 1. at BBs and 2. in the IB division. For example, someone at GS who is an MD in operations or risk probably can't help you too much. But plenty of non-targets do break in, you just have to network your ass off and send a lot of cold emails. There's plenty of networking guides here so I won't rehash them, but start networking sophomore fall.
Thank you loads man, I’ll definitely focus on networking even more than I do. Regarding the classes and grades I think I’ll have to just give it more effort I currently have a 3.8 and am hoping to maintain it.
Chances are definitely not good but you should definitely try your best. Also sprinkling in some humility will help
