Is there hope to go into IB after UG without prior internship

I'm currently a senior finance major from a non target school and have being working in the finance dept for a CRM software company for the past 2.5 years while getting my degree. This past semester I've been taking a valuation and finance modeling class that I've found really interesting and am now heavily considering going into IB after I graduate in May. My only problem is since I've been working at the same job in a corp finance position I haven't had any internships at any firms related to banking. Is it still possible to go into IB this late in the game or did I miss the boat already. If there still is hope where should I start?
