Applying for BB without previous IBD experience

Hey guys, I am planning to apply for the SA Programs of all BBs this summer (HK office for specific). I will apply for IBD but worry that my CV is not good enough. I am studying in one of the top3 universities in hk and has a 3.6 gpa. I have 3 internships so far, the first one is at a insurance consulting firm, the second is a financial advisory firm helping startups raising fund from VC/PE, and the third is what I am doing now, investment research at an Hk based hedge fund. So with these experiences do I have a chance to get an interview with BB?

 

hey thanks for replying. I am thinking about applying for all bulge bracket in hk (GS, MS, JPM, Citi, etc.) But most of the senior students I know that got into these firms have already had IBD experiences (mostly in Chinese ibanks) so I am just not sure if I would have a chance to at least get the interview from BB without any IBD experiences on my CV.
