% of students that break into acquisitions? Impossible or no?

With how bad the market is, I wanted to ask what the percentage of kids that break into acq. is? I just started working and have seen so many kids struggle to break in out of undergrad. Even REIB is difficult nowadays, so what should kids look to go into to break in eventually if not out of undergrad?
