Getting an Investment Banking Job Post-MSF

Hey guys,

I'm starting a 2 year MSF program this Fall and I was wondering if you guys had any advice on how I could get a job in Investment Banking after I graduate my program.

How soon should I start networking for an internship next summer? I completed my Undergrad degree at a non-target so I'm not sure how the process works.  

Should I go for Analyst or Associate positions?  I'll have 1 year of work experience by the time I'll start and I plan on trying to work full time while I complete my program.  

Finally, how do I overcome my low GPA?  I had some health problems during undergrad that affected my grades.  I've overcome my problems and am hoping to better in grad school, but I'm afraid my low grades will follow me through recruiting.
