Rigid French system

Do something interesting happened to me today. I did a few PE internships in NY/London but wanna go the IB route to start out my career. So last week in did two interviews for an boutique M&A and went really well fit and technical (no question unanswered, basically everyone went well). Thé interviewer calls me today and said that the interviews went perfectly however my technical were very good etc… But as I am coming from a bachelors degree only and not a master’s they won’t take me. ( it’s for a analyst internship not associate). Their system sucks.
