Just getting an IB interview from where you are at would be an exception. At this point what you're looking for is kindof an unrealistic miracle, unless you get into a good mba program. At this point all you can do is network extremely hard and see if someone helps you. 

 

Anything is possible in this universe, chief. You can feasibly convince SOME bank to give you a summer internship after you graduate. A lot of them (probably every known EB/BB/MM) have never done that before. You’d have to be a pretty spectacular candidate to convince them to change their long-standing norms. It’s possible, just not probable.
 

Your better bet is finding some excuse to pitch that you’re graduating December of next year, even if it’s only a single 1 credit class you’re taking in the fall (because SA 2022 is for Dec 22/May 23 grads) or just going for full time roles.

 

Btw you can use some “creative license” to pull this off. If you get the SA, perform well, your coworkers love you and give you a return offer, I don’t think HR even checks graduation date during onboarding. Even in the 1% chance they did, you say “oh I fully intended to graduate in December when I applied but ended up fulfilling all requirements by May and finishing early.” 

 

You can hurl insults, you can talk trash on the internet, but the facts remain the facts. You've told us 1) you have two non-target degrees 2) you couldn't secure an IB job out of school 3) you've had zero success applying for experienced IB roles. I've simply said you can lateral into IB after 1 year when you actually have solid experience (assuming your current role is valuation/corporate development/transaction-related) or after an MBA. Both are great options. I'm rooting for you!

All of us got this job by occasionally accepting hard feedback with grace... or because of diversity programs...... or because our daddy was an MD. 

 

Based off of your recent comments I'm interested in what you mean by top non-target? UCSD?
