Pivoting from CRE to IB?

Current Junior at semi-target. Interned at big CRE firm, no direct finance/IB experience. Seems like most internships for the summer are spoken for and so far I've only landed RE internships for the upcoming summer. Am I too late to pivot to IB/finance in general? Any advice is appreciated.
