2026 IB Grad Scheme Chances

Hi, I’m a Masters in Finance student at a target, with an engineering undergrad at a Russel Group (non-target). I have a First Class in engineering and am on track for a first class in my masters. I know this question has been asked a bazillion times but thought asking won’t hurt.

I want to ask what my chances are of landing an IB grad scheme is, to anyone who’s really experienced the competition and made it through. I have an engineering and finance internship at a huge infrastructure company and an investment management internship both on my cv, and am looking to apply to most finance roles (but am keen to lands an IB one).

If anyone is willing to share their advice / my likelihood on it based on my profile I’d appreciate it a lot, thanks.
