Advice for Bank Job

Hi guys, I go to a school that is ranked 45-40. I have had two real estate internships and I want to break into banking. I went from a 2.87 gpa for my first 2 years to 3.27 gpa that I round to a 3.3 on my resume. I am not qualified enough for an analyst position realistically, even though I am very knowledgeable about financial markets, corporate finance, and financial products. I’m trying to find a job that I could have at a bank for 1-1.5 years and work on my cfa to pivot to an analyst role in NY. Also, I have a strong personal connection with a pretty high up employee at a particular bank that allows me to talk straight to recruiters. My question to you all is what position should I target. I found that I’ve been turned down from one more operational position because I am overqualified yet I’m not qualified enough for an analyst role. Any recommendations?
Also, if you are feeling generous, please hit the banana so I can get more responses. Thanks.
