If you want to focus on data then I think you definitely have a chance. I can only speak for McK but I think there’s huge demand for analytics roles across the board.

I don't have a target school background either but got an interview this week w.o referral. I'd say just try applying!

Experience & demonstrated delivery > Target school. Work portfolio is +++. Do you have executable code on a GitHub repo? (beyond basic first lessons like Titanic passengers etc, but more like independent projects either for work or outside)

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?
