What are my chances of landing a gig at some large BB/well-known MM firm?

I am senior (graduating in 2014) majoring in environmental science, but with a minor in business management @ a top-tier school (think of schools such as UCLA, NYU, Harvard, etc. the bigshots like GS, JPM, Moelis, etc. recruit). Although my background is in environmental science, I have managed to do a summer IB internship @ a lower middle-market IB firm specializing in small-cap TMT & pharmaceutical firms, another internship @ a boutique strategic consulting/merchant banking firm for Canadian stock exchange-listed mining/oil/nat-gas firms and currently interning @ well-known real estate brokerage firm (think of RE/MAX, Coldwell Banker, etc.).

sorry, i have nothing to add... just found it funny that you would include UCLA or NYU in the same "top tier" category as Harvard.. especially at the undergrad level.

SB for beating me to the punch.
