Advice on breaking in

What’s up Monkeys,
This past month I have had the craziest on set of apprehensions in terms of breaking into investment banking. During my freshman year I was super into pre-law hoping to go into M&A law so my resume reflected that with pre-law clubs and actives. The only finance based experience I have is being a finance assistant at my school - however over the summer I had a change of heart towards IB, I have been grinding technicals and behavioral questions for abt a month now.
