Internships for 1st/2nd year before consulting

I was wondering what kind of internships will be helpful in 1st/2nd year to achieve a third year consulting internship.  If I'm interested in MBB what is the best approach?  Thank you in advance.

Best options are big name corporate internships or startups where you have an actual impact. Big name corporate internships good because it gives you credibility if you were able to get through their interview process and startups good when you actually make an impact because you can talk about that during interviews
