I am a sophomore electrical and computer engineering student at Princeton University. My GPA is 3.75/4.00; and I have numerous summers worth of experience in machine learning/computational physics research.
Is it too late for me to choose IB as a career? And if not, what steps can I take to make it be available as an option?

If I were u I wouldn’t waste my time in IB, if you want to focus on finance then quantitative trading should be your jam where you work normal hours for good pay. Also develop an idea and start your own company. If that works out ok then you have an easy shot into VC. Any angel investor or VC would give their left testicle to give money to a Princeton engineer and see what they do with it
