FT Recruiting in a Shitty Spot

Screwed up SA recruiting pretty bad, praying on FT recruiting to break into IB from semi-target with a 3.4 (junior)

I'll have 2yrs experience in Risk Management at an AM firm, where I have a return offer, but still hoping FT recruiting can save me next fall

Obviously going to have to grind my balls off but is there even a chance? Looking for some advice from people who've been here before
