Do I have a chance at BB - Lower ranked state public school

I go to a lower ranked state public school. I messed up two semesters which lowered my GPA quite significantly. I can realistically graduate around a 3.75. I am double majoring in Management Information Systems and Finance. If I work at an branch office for a smaller firm for my Jr and Sr year as well as an internship somewhere else during the summer before my Sr year, what are my odds at a BB firm for an investment banking analyst? I realize GS is not a question since I am not Ivy league nor Jewish, but what about the other larger firms such as Merill Lynch? Thanks in advance.
