There are too many people with MBA's and IB experience that will be after the same jobs. You might be able to work at a bank that also has a IB. Then in a couple of years do an internal transfer. Even an MBA might not get you in. One from a good school helps, but there are no guarantees. You have very little chance.

Getting into a bulge bracket firm will be tough, but if you can find a way to get in front of a smaller bank, they may be able to offer you an internship. You need to go out and network and meet as many bankers as possible. You have to sell yourself on being enthusiastic and a go-getter. It will also help if you went to a good school, but that is less important at smaller investment banks. I recommend you try to find an internship with a smaller bank.
