SA’s are for the summer before your last year of school. Therefore usually it would be before your senior year of college. If you do a one year MSF you could do an SA the summer between Undergrad and your MSF but not after graduating your MSF

You have to go for FT roles or go for an MBA
Deleted
Probably not because you are not eligible for the role given your graduation date. Your best bet for an internship would be MBA, otherwise would look at lateral roles
Just getting an IB interview from where you are at would be an exception. At this point what you're looking for is kindof an unrealistic miracle, unless you get into a good mba program. At this point all you can do is network extremely hard and see if someone helps you.

Anything is possible in this universe, chief. You can feasibly convince SOME bank to give you a summer internship after you graduate. A lot of them (probably every known EB/BB/MM) have never done that before. You’d have to be a pretty spectacular candidate to convince them to change their long-standing norms. It’s possible, just not probable.
Your better bet is finding some excuse to pitch that you’re graduating December of next year, even if it’s only a single 1 credit class you’re taking in the fall (because SA 2022 is for Dec 22/May 23 grads) or just going for full time roles.
Btw you can use some “creative license” to pull this off. If you get the SA, perform well, your coworkers love you and give you a return offer, I don’t think HR even checks graduation date during onboarding. Even in the 1% chance they did, you say “oh I fully intended to graduate in December when I applied but ended up fulfilling all requirements by May and finishing early.”
HR does, as part of the background check
This is entirely false. You will not be able to get an SA as a graduate unless you are able to show you’re studying afterwards. Especially not after completing an MSF
Excuse me for being stupid then. I thought OP graduated next May. I’ve seen multiple people delay graduation to December by taking 1 class their final fall just to accommodate an SA.

No, banks will not consider you for SA roles now that you’ve graduated. You need to get a relevant job for 1 year then lateral into IB.

I'm confused why you got mad at him? You should try and lateral FT
Why doesn't it sound like good advice? Because it's not what you want?
You can hurl insults, you can talk trash on the internet, but the facts remain the facts. You've told us 1) you have two non-target degrees 2) you couldn't secure an IB job out of school 3) you've had zero success applying for experienced IB roles. I've simply said you can lateral into IB after 1 year when you actually have solid experience (assuming your current role is valuation/corporate development/transaction-related) or after an MBA. Both are great options. I'm rooting for you!
All of us got this job by occasionally accepting hard feedback with grace... or because of diversity programs...... or because our daddy was an MD.

Based off of your recent comments I'm interested in what you mean by top non-target? UCSD?
