Recruiting to IB full-time from Master's program?

Hi all, I'd really like to get into IB but I'm wondering if it's still possible at this point. I'd appreciate any tips/recommendations. Graduated this May from an Ivy with a liberal arts degree, 3.8x GPA. Worked at a VC fund in the summer prior to senior year and this past summer. Currently working on an MS in finance from a top business school, set to graduate May 2021. Unfortunately I don't have an IB summer internship set up for 2020. I'm hoping to recruit next year for full-time positions following graduation. Is breaking into IB still possible at this point? Is there anything, beyond networking, that I should be doing in the meantime?
