What are my chances to break in to MM/BB? Give me odds.

Before you start typing, keep in mind that I'm not targeting this cycle. I'm just asking in general.

Here's some info:

Non-target state school; Recently, only 3 total students have broke into banking.

Current Sophomore; Finance & Accounting Major, pursuing data analytics minor; 4.0 Major GPA; 3.77 Cumulative GPA

Current experience: Lead analyst for school's student-led investment fund, about $500k in equities/Consulting coach for the college's student personal finance center.

Future experience: 2024 summer intern at wealth management firm

Have been applying everywhere for summer '25 analyst positions, so far I haven't gotten anything further than a HireVue. 

If I don't get into banking by graduating, I will do the MSF program at Vandy.


Give me chances, either in odds or expressed as a %. I don't want to work at a small chop shop, only MM and BB firms. Location is irrelevant. 


Will I make it, or will I have to settle?
