Will I be able to break into IB with a mid GPA from a target and quant internship at a BB

Hello, I am a current sophomore from Michigan Ross. I made a post a couple of months ago about choosing Amazon SWE or a mid tier PE firm, but fortunately I received  a qaunt analyst position at a BB (I am not good enough for HFT firms lol). Anyways, I was really focused on recruiting this semester and I am not going to get above a 3.5 and theres a very solid chance it drops below 3.5 cumulative, I am also a Computer Science major in the College of Engineering if that means anything. I really want to break into banking but I am worried my GPA is too low for IB.
