Rating Agency to BB or Boutique?

I'm interning at a rating agency for my second summer in a row, and even though I essentially have a FT offer, banking is much more appealing. Right out of undergrad (3.5, nontarget), it would seem stupid to just be working a 9-5 job.

Any thoughts on how to make the jump?

Mind you, though, that while I am working on a few live deals, the SEC's new regulations prevent anyone but analysts from attending management meetings. Initially, this seemed like the best way to make contacts; now, however, that would appear to be the one sure fire way to screw up any chance I might have.
