Career Path as an Undergad

I am currently attending my first year of studies at the University of St.Gallen in Switzerland. For the upcoming summer I will do a 3-Month Transaction Services internship at a Big4. My ultimate goal is to secure an Analyst Role in a top tier Investment Bank after my undergrad studies either in Zurich, London or Frankfurt. 
 

Do you have any recommendations or tips for me to reaching my goal?
