Best way to get into Strategy at a F500

I am a Junior at a non-target, double majoring in Accounting and Finance, 3.5 GPA. Interned for broker/dealer, now interning for a private equity endowment. Senior analyst for student investment funds. My goal is to get into strategy at an F500. Is it possible to get in right out of undergrad, or do I need to start somewhere else and exit to strategy?
