Possible to apply for full time analyst position in IB during first year of part time grad school?

Title is self explanatory. I am interested in IB, but have no financial background/education. Even as a FT grad student I don’t think I would be considered for summer associate programs due to my lack of financial experience. Thoughts/first hand experiences/stories?
