Recruiting Services BS or legit?

Hi:

Wondering what merit people think of recruiting services to break into a bulge bracket? I am a non-targe 3.7 GPA and after this summer will have completed two internships at a MM investment bank in Sales and Trading. Trying to work alumni as well. Wondering if services like these have good success rates for non-targets or are just BS waste of money. Any personal experiences you have would help.

Thanks.

^ Are you suggesting getting a full time offer this summer and leverage that to getting in the door at BB? That's the plan. But if I'm just curious if these services are a waste of time or not?
