What are my chances to break into BB/EB

Hello,

im currently a bachelor student at emlyon bs (target school in france) & probably semi-target in london.

I have a 3,5/4 of gpa in 2nd year and I aim a 3,6-7/4 for the next years.

On top of that i did a summer internship in corporate M&A in my 1st year and  I am currently doing a 5 months internship as project finance analyst (we raise debt to finance optic fiber).

And i will have to a third & fourth years internships (6 months each). Btw im already in process for an off-cycle at PWP in London for my 3rd year internship.

According to you, what are realistically my chances to break in IB in Paris/London in BB or EB, but would prefer BB for the bigger brand name i will exit after 2 to 4 years probably.

Thankkssssssssss
