HELP: Is IB out of the question for me?

Junior varsity athlete here with a 3.9 gpa at a non target school. I missed out on securing an IB role this summer out of sheer ignorance to the field.

I am playing with the idea of staying on for another semester in Fall 2020 to basically set myself up to be eligible for summer analysts roles once more in summer 2021.

Does this make sense or am I playing with Fire?
