Advice for a masters student.

Hi,

I have tried searching but couldn't seem to find the answer. I was wondering if i should apply for full time positions or internships within M&A as a masters student who does not have a M&A internship.

Previously i have completed 1 internship in a hedge fund and 1 within a commercial bank. I went to a non-target undergraduate university but will attend a target business school.

Should i just go ahead and apply for full time positions? Or apply to both?

I will graduate 2012.
