Re-applying for FT at the firm where you didn't convert SA last year

Title pretty much says it all. 

I interned at a BB in London last year and didn't convert because I really messed up on a project at the very beginning and the analyst I worked with ultimately gave a bad feedback during the final review. 

Now I have completed an off-cycle internship at a better firm, had very positive feedback but again didn't convert because of headcount / covid.

So now I am thinking to try my chances and apply for FT at the BB where I did my SA

Is it possible in your opinion to land a FT gig at a firm where you didn't convert in the first place? Or is it a no go territory? Would really appreciate your views here.

I guess the same logic applies. 

Would just be a bit harder to re-emphasis how you improved in such a short space of time. But I think as long as you're able to come up with examples, you should be fine.
