Breaking into East Coast MBB Firms from West Coast Targets

Hi WSO. I hope your day is going great. As the title says, I'm looking for advice on how to break into offices such as NYC and Boston from a West Coast Target. My school is a semi-target for the east but overall just wanted tips and suggestions from people who have experience. Thank you for your time.
