Post MBA associate to PE FoF's / Secondaries?

Hi all,
Apologies if this has been mentioned before. While the topic of the slim possibility of getting into a direct shop without analyst experience has been beaten to death, does the same likelihood apply for PE FoF / secondaries? Appreciate any advice. Thanks.
