If you can build your network and really sharpen your resume and cover letter, you’ve definitely got a shot. Regarding your resume, you will have to really sell your boutique experiences - ideally point to some deal work, some modeling, etc, to show that you’ve accumulated a solid skill set, albeit from a no-name shop. Next, to provide credibility to your resume, you will want to build at least a small network of people to drop your resume for you at their respective banks. Considering you are about to start your junior year, you’ve got some time to build relationships and reach out to alumni - it takes time, but persistence and patience will definitely help you here.

Without adequately selling your experiences on your resume, it will be pretty difficult, as you will be seen as any other student from a non-target (that is, unless you’ve got some serious connections).

Without any connections, it will be possible, but less likely, as you’ll be forced to drop your resume in the general drop box, while Target students have their on-campus boxes.
