Do I even have a shot for IB internship?

Hello. My goal is to break into IB and am looking for a summer internship for 2026 in IB. I come from a semi target (UNC, Rice, Emory, USC, etc.) With a 3.93 gpa. I am genuinely curious on how well I am positioned for summer analyst internship interviews and my chances. Recently finished my military service. My only experiences are that I did mandatory military service and won a pretty big army wide presentation competition and a marketing internship I did. I'm really worried about my chances of landing a SA role because of my lack of finance-related experience. Also if I start networking now, am I considered late to the game? Also how realistic are my chances of landing a SA role?
