Applying to FT IBD roles as a computer science major with one IBD internship?

Here's my situation: Graduating from a non-target school (Top 50 US News) with a degree in computer science in May 2020 (GPA: 3.2). I have had four software development co-ops/internships (Two of which with respected software companies) and one investment banking internship with a boutique firm my freshman summer (so it's been a while).

I've done some Linkedin searching and haven't had much luck finding people who have successfully transitioned into IB with my type of experience.

Has anyone heard of someone like me pivoting into the industry? What do you think of my chances?

Look at it this way: The world is changing rapidly, with computer skills becoming much more of something that you must have in order to survive, not only to just get a good job in the modern world. If you have a degree in that, plus real world experience in that plus an IB internship, why wouldn't a bank want you? You have a lot to offer. I would brush up on those technicals though while applying.
