Do I stand a chance to get a graduate placement at Organisations like Blackstone, JP morgan, or Should I go for masters program

Hi ! I want to start my career as an real estate analyst. I have a current GPA of 3.39 / 4 , which i hope will rise upto 3.5 by the time I will graduate in June 2015. I am appearing for CFA level 1 in December. So far i have interned in a stock exchange , law firm and a private equity firm.

The problem is my school is not a target school for IB banks or private equity recruiting. Do I stand a chance to get a graduate placement at Organisations like Blackstone, JP Morgan, Goldman sach etc ? I hold Indian nationality and need sponsorship.

To solve the problem, should I consider doing masters from a target school like oxford, LSE, NYU etc ?

I will be really greatful if someone can suggest me on this topic .

same issue here . I go to a non-target school, and have an internship in a think tank in DC and have valuation budgeting experience but im trying to get an internship in PE for the summer. Any ideas on where to start for non-target folks like us.
