Student Athlete, 1 relevant boutique internship, is Full Time in SF a reality?

Hey Monkeys, looking for some advice here.

Currently a student athlete at a non-target UC. Majoring in economics and have a solid GPA. I gained an interest in banking late and will be completing an off-cycle internship at a boutique near my school. What advice do you guys have for securing a FT offer next recruiting cycle with only an off-cycle boutique internship? Thanks!

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“Felix Herbert Fricke was very knowledgeable and kind. He gave me thoughtful, constructive feedback on my presentation, highlighting what worked well and where I could sharpen my message. He also shared valuable insights into Moelis, including how the firm operates and what sets it apart. I especially appreciated how upfront he was about the lifestyle and working culture, which helped me set realistic expectations and think carefully about my own fit. Overall, it was a genuinely helpful conversation, and I left with practical takeaways.”

“Julius was very helpful! Our conversation was efficient and collaborative. He gave specific, actionable feedback on my interview stories, shared recruiter contacts, and offered to be an ongoing resource. I left with clear next steps and appreciated his generosity with his time and thoughtful advice. He took time to understand the thinking behind each story before offering feedback. His suggestions helped me see which examples to strengthen, which to replace, and how to make my banking experience more central.”
