Freshman Rejected from All Freshman IB Clubs

Freshman at semi-target (Emory, UNC, USC, UCLA, Rice) who was rejected from all the Investment Banking clubs at my school. These clubs essentially gatekeep their information and have all the IB offers. 

If I didn't get into these clubs, is breaking into the industry near zero? Should I tranfer? Am I doomed to Big 4?
