Have I missed the IB boat? Burned out and hopeless

I started my mfin at Cambridge and will be graduating in aug 2026. However, in michealmas term I had multiple health reasons and accommodation issues and they mixed up my email so I wasn't even getting emails properly. I have not been able to apply much and feel very behind. I dont come from a IB background, and have tons of admin work to catch up on and exams, and feel really burned out. Can someone tell me if I am still eligible to apply to IB internships? I will be 27 soon.
