Interested in Banking, What Path Should I Take

Next year I will be a freshman at a top 10 US University, and I should be on a sports team there (not really a sport that many people care about though). Anyway, I have been interested in business and the finance world and more recently I have become interested in investment banking. What path should I take to get to a pretty good bank after I leave college? About what GPA do they look for, when do I start looking for internships, and does being an athlete help?

Thanks!
