I-Banking break in advice

Gentlemen,
I am a recent college graduate that is currently studying for his MBA and MS in Finance. I am going to school full time, Drexel University, and have a full time job with the government. I will soon have a full time job with a private wealth firm. I still have 1 1/2 years in my program to go. I will graduate with a 3.9-4.0 and have the goal to work for a bulge firm in NYC as an I-Banker. I am sending out a request to recieve any information, tips, or actions to take in order to obtain and I-banking job in the Big Apple. I am 22 and graduated undergraduate in 3 years (from a 4 year institution). I believe that I am an impressive canidate for an I-banking job but have no contacts in the world of I-banking. I want to learn everything I can and hopefully have a job when I graduate. By that time I will have 2 years experience in a private wealth management firm and 1 year experience in the government. I am mainly interested in an M&A position. Please help in any way possible.

Thank You,
Andrew

Well you've obviously already missed Summer Analyst ops. I don't know how you're halfway through your first year of your MBA (I guess they start in winter?). Good luck, sounds like you're screwed to me!

Yea Drexel has two starting times, I started in the Winter. And what do you mean by Nontarget MBA? And i'm not asking if I'm SOL, obviously I have missed some opportunites however, you make your own luck. I'm asking how I can get out of SOL status and into Kinda outta luck. It took me until January to realize that I-banking is what I want to do.
