What shot do i have - UT Austin with a 3.9 GPA

Hey guys I just wanted to know what kind of shot I to get into private equity straight out of undergrad. Also any tips on where to find job postings for firms that would hire a candidate like me.

UT Austin GPA: >3.9 Experience: some financial experience, once worked for a fortune 500 company over the summer Extracirculars: Some major ones nothing too amazing contributed all of my expenses while in college (involved working two jobs usually)

Constructive criticism is welcomed.
