Which internships should I go for to have a higher chance of breaking into MBB

Hey !

I´m an 20 year old first year business student from Finland with past job experience in B2C sales with also leadership experience in this area. And I´m wondering which type of summer internships I should go for after the first year of studies (since the chances of landing an MBB internship after one year of studies is just unrealistic) to have a higher chance of breaking into MBB?

Ideal internships are ones with brand name companies (gets your resume pulled) and make sense/fit your story for the inevitable "why consulting" question. As long as you can explain it in a compelling way, you'll be good.
