Changing Lines of Business

I am interning at a BB and am not liking my role. After talking with a variety of people and networking, I know IB is the right track to start my career. I am looking to start full time next year as a first year analyst in IB.

How should I proceed? Should I tell my/team my interest (or apply for the position right now) or wait until the internship is over? Where can I apply to hedge the risk of not getting into my current firm's IB division? How can I stand out as an applicant? Any recommendations?
