will being ahead harm me this time?

I am a current senior in high school. I was never really worried about going to a target school or anything of the sorts because it’s just not my ball game. with that being said my junior year I was in all dual credit classes. 5 a semester. I have 5 more a semester lined up for this year. To recap I will come into my non-target state school next semester as a JUNIOR standing. Will this hurt my recruiting for a summer internship not in IB (I believe that is out of my realm) but maybe corporate banking or something of the like. just spitball you’re thoughts, trying to bounce some ideas off some experienced heads
