Chances of moving from MM Banking SA at BAML/WF/JPM to IB

I just wanted to know what the chances are of moving to either corp banking(more realistic) or IB from a top 3 commercial banking program. Is it more likely to be an internal move? When should I start actively seeking out movement for full time roles?

It is entirely possible that I enjoy the MM Banking space while interning over summer, but as of now IB is my goal. I currently go to a non-target and have a decent GPA around 3.4 and relevant internships, with this SA role being the most relevant. Any advice is appreciated.
