Please give me advice concerning internship.

Hi, so let me introduce myself first. I am rising senior with expected graduation in June 2015, and I have 3.6/4.0 GPA at a non-target but well rated university. I major in Econ-Math and minor in Statistics. I have not had any internship before and I am taking summer school right now. I know I should be having an internship right now, but I figured it out too late and I am so frustrated right now. I heard that it is very rare to get an internship at BB after you graduate. Is it even good to have an internship after graduation? and if I do not have any internship, will firms hire me as an entry level? What would you recommend me to do at this point? PLEASE help me. I am so desperate right now. I-banking has been my dream since very long ago, but I have only concentrated on school work, and foolishly neglected internships...

serious question: why do you claim to want to work in ibanking when you have 0 relevant work experience? how do you know you want to work in banking when you haven't worked a single day in finance? do you know what investment bankers do? you seem like a pretty unconvincing candidate it seems unlikely that if you knew you wanted to do banking a long time ago, you wouldn't have at some point googled how to break in, and found out you should have some work experience

anyway, it is 'technically' possible to land a full time entry level (recruiting begins september) without work exp you cannot do an internship after you graduated- internships are only for current students

your situation seems pretty bleak, but feel free to message me
