I go to a similar LAC. Keep up the grades (hopefully studying something rigorous) and keep doing internships (hopefully each one more relevant than the last). Know your technicals inside and out so that when you interview you can dispel any idea that you're a pie in the sky stereotypical LAC type. You're right that networking will be huge for you.
In fact, might as well buy the WSO technical guide right now. That shit is gold.
Thank you! Is that WSP financial modeling training program?

buy the technical and behavioral interview guides(use it to get comfortable with questions u might get asked). there are tons of free modeling materials online but it is worth spending some money on WSO products and services. go on dealbook/wsj,com everyday. do some searching on this site.
Get into chat you douche.
The breaking into wall street modeling program is money - not completely necessary, but if you have the cash helps a lot. My advice to you is network, network, network. You have plenty of time as a sophomore right now. Make sure to secure an internship at a boutique this summer.
Yeah, but it is really hard to get into those bulge bracket banks this summer right? even for those sophomore program?
Just keep doing hard on networking.
