Am I able for Investment Banking?

I'm studying Economics in Portugal and I'm finishing my undergraduate a little bit late due to motivation problems but I'm going to finish it with good grades. I spent 1 month in NYC to study english in the summer but also to experience the city and Wall Street. I also spent 2 years in college in a leadership position (student junior business association).

I would like to ask you if it is good requirements to be accepted in investment banking or even an internship. Do you think finishing college late is a bad thing? What would be useful to know before I get into investment banking? I feel that it is my passion.
