Any reasonable chance to still break into IB?

Hi,

Currently a 3rd year at a target (Camb/Oxf/Lse/Imperial/Ucl) in the UK. However, didn't manage to secure an IBD SA internship in 2nd year and did a unrelated field internship during my first year.

Would it be reasonable to still try to break into IB? also, would it be better to apply for SA / grad roles given my current situation?

Thanks!
