Non-target who has to redo the last semester of undergrad - do I stand a chance?

To begin with, I'm a non-target (from a non-target country :lol:). A low GPA (3.2) non-target who has to redo his last semester of undergrad (somehow I hadn't undertaken a compulsory course and thus, haven't gotten the bachelor's degree). I am afraid this is going to be detrimental to my future career but I am adamant about working for one of the investment banks. I am now pursuing GMAT; I think I am capable of getting Q50-51. By the time I start my MSc, I will have worked for one year for one of BIG4 firms in corporate finance. If I devote my whole self and secure a 3.8+/3.9+ GPA within Finance major at a decent uni, will I stand a chance for any interview at BB/EB? (assuming that the networking homework is be done properly)

Thank you.
