Took Year Off in Middle of College - Now Trying for IB

Rising sophomore at a non-HYP Ivy here. I had to take a year off after freshman year because of medical issues that have since been resolved. My first-year was pretty lackluster because of this, but now that I'm returning this fall I think I have a shot at getting a high GPA, joining finance clubs, etc. I know that breaking into IB gets progressively harder each year, with the deadlines for top BBs getting earlier and earlier. Disregarding freshman year, since I'm starting basically fresh sophomore year, I understand it's going to be quite a bit harder for me to accomplish everything in time. As of now, the plan is to find a remote internship (prob not finance related) this summer while taking an online class, then return to campus in the fall (as long as it's open). Then I'll join some of the orgs on campus, go to information sessions, and start looking for a sophomore summer internship. Then towards the end of sophomore year finalize my applications to top BB IBs and complete my sophomore year internship. Does this seem like a realistic timeline?
