IB/VC pathway

I’m pretty confirmed that I want to break into investment banking or Ventura capital after graduating. As professions in the field what do you recommend I should do from freshmen summer to senior summer in college? In regards to internships, clubs, summer programs, or certifications. In addition what are some overall advice that you would give.
