Recommendation - Current rising senior

I am a current rising senior trying to pursue a full-time IB offer at a boutique or MM IB. I attend a private school in Texas that has an extremely strong network and I am looking to stay in Texas for IB. I am majoring in Finance and have a 3.1 GPA and 3.3 Finance GPA. I am now at a Boutique firm under M&A. Any recommendations to what I should start thinking of in order to have an comp.advantage? Also, I am thinking about a BIG 4 opportunity. Any major difficulties/differences I have to look at the moment of applying!? Thanks,
