Chance at landing an analyst position coming from a nontarget in San Francisco?

Hey guys, I know you've seen this thread a lot, but every situation is different.

I am currently on track to graduate in December (from the University of San Francisco) with in Finance. My current GPA is around 3.85

I have relative Finance experience after finishing an internship at McKesson Corporation (#5 on Fortune 500) as a Financial Analyst. Previous experience includes getting investment for a startup idea and a operations analyst (summer intern) at well known Series D company worth over $500m.

Do I have a chance at just applying at every analyst role I can find or am I just not competitive enough to break into a first year analyst role. Any thoughts/opinions are welcome, my feelings won't get hurt if the feedback is negative.

Thanks!
