Intern at the Federal Reserve of CHI - Chances of landing an IB job

I accepted an offer from the Chicago Fed in the S&R department, it will be a standard 10 week internship but since I go to school downtown then they have the option to extend it for 20 hours a week during the school year.

My previous experience is car sales which I sold a bunch of cars in a short time, something always to the surprise of those I interview with and recruiters find it interesting. My current position is in London shadowing a duty solicitor in extradition and criminal defense cases, with brexit the perspective is amazing and the work is awesome. Also was treasurer of my fraternity at school. My grades are average and will end with a 3.4-3.5 gpa but with my major being 3.7.

I am curious of how I will fend when applying at the end of my senior year, any insight from those who have been here before?
