Do I Have a Chance at 2020 Full-Time Recruiting?

Hey y'all,

I go to a target school (think Haas, Stern, CMU) with a 3.9+ gpa. I f--ed up on internship recruiting last year bc I was unaware of deadlines and I was pretty bad at interviews. Also, I don't have a lot of ECs (oops). But, I have a pretty solid understanding of finance and accounting so I think that would help in my pursuits. I'm currently interning in commercial banking at a big bank (but I'm trying to make a internal move even if it's unlikely). I want to break into a role/division that's requires more brain-power lol. I don't want those classes on financial instruments, betas, and dcfs to go to waste, and I don't deal with those things at all in my internship -- I'm thinking capital markets, asset management, valuation advisory, ib, or even corporate banking.

Are any of these possible? What other opportunities are possible for someone like me? And, what other advice can you offer? I would greatly appreciate it.
