Investment Banking FT too late?

I’m currently on a BO placement year with a mid sized firm in the UK. I ultimately want to get into IBD.
As it stands I have one more year at Uni and this summer (potentially for an internship).

Is it too late to get into IBD? Is it too late to get a summer IB internship?
