My school, target but not a target ?

Hey folks,

I want to break into IBD and always thought my uni could place me relatively well since it has some partnerships with BB's. However, others schools do have similar partnerships, and I don't see anyone from my school working in IBD.

Interestingly enough, tons of folks work in these BB in different department, AM, PM, etc...

How to break in? I have some contacts with banks but it doesn't seem like they would consider someone from my uni to be in IBD, but everywhere else in the firm.

What's up ?
