Is it worth it to apply to EBs if your SA position was at a tiny bank?

Semi-target and good resume, but summer internship is at a practically unheard of bank. If I network is there a chance of getting to an EB or MM? I saw a comment to just aim for IB at a big 4 firm but those aren't even open and I thought networking was going well at the EB's I spoke with but maybe they were just being polite I guess?
