Am I screwed? SA 2025

I'm a rising junior student at a non-target. I accepted a Big 4 Winter 2025 Audit offer in NY (internship is from Jan 2025 - March 2025), but no IB experience and no IB offers (I don't even have any IB interviews scheduled, only hirevues). I'm thinking of delaying my graduation by a quarter (so I graduate on Dec/2026 instead of June/2026) to give myself another chance at securing an IB internship at an EB or BB for 2026 summer.

For 2025 Summer, are there any IB applications even open anymore? If so, can you please link them below? Help a brotha out.

For people who delaying a semester, do you guys apply through the same portal or create a new one for the new recruiting cycle. Plus, do people(interviewers/ analyst, ppl from the firm) actually care if you delay a semester, or they rather see you do that and come prepared?
