What are my chances of getting an investment banking/consulting job?

I'm currently a 3rd year undergrad getting a BA in Economics and Management at a top Canadian university. I'm comfortable with numbers and have recently been very interested in doing investment banking or financial consulting. My internships currently are not the best but I've worked in the finance department of a couple of MNCs. I still have one more summer where I can get internships before getting an actual job after graduation. I was wondering what my chances are of landing a decent investment banking or financial consulting job with a BA. I am planning to do a masters in finance or investment later, but want to work before I do.
Thanks

Consulting goes to Commerce kids, too. Check the job placement rates for economics majors at your school. Ask your career center for it. That'll give you the best estimate of what to aim for.
