What should I do

So just a bit about me- I’ve just completed my undergrad and I’m looking to break into IB as I still see the appeal in the industry. However, I’m more than likely getting a 2:2 and I’ve been using SEO along with 10,000 black interns to try and get some experience. I’ve had a few interviews here and there but nothing as yet…. Now I’ve accepted a conditional offer with Exeter to do an online masters program in International business. Now do I realistically have a chance of breaking in? I’ve also been applying to Traineeships on Investment 20/20 and I’m currently using the Beyond Barriers program.
