LSE BSc Economic History to IB/PE

Hi guys, I have currently just started my undergrad at LSE for economic history, however I've seen on the LSE website that few people go into IB after and most go to firms like KPMG and Deloitte. Do you guys think that I can still break into IB or high finance with this undergrad?

Yes what a stupid question. Cohort size is small and also people have different interests on that course which is why they probably aren’t trying to churn out IBers
