Am I cooked beyond cooked?

Hey everyone.

Current rising sophomore at a semi-target, 4.0 GPA. My previous experience was in Accounting and Commercial Real Estate, undergraduate research (Finance department), and I also worked as an on-campus tutor in business courses. I will start an internship soon in a well-known government department, where I will be assigned to business development or data analytics (not so "finance") . That was my only option to go with for this Fall, because I just transferred. 

I didn't do any internships in IB, PE, or something that could be strongly called Finance. Am I cooked for the upcoming IB recruitment? 

Any advice or input is precious. Thank you.
