Sophomore Analyst Position?

What are the steps I should be taking as a current sophomore at a major target school to land a position in finance for Summer 2019? I see that a lot of banks only accept rising seniors, so I want to know what it is I can do now to get started.

So essentially I should just focus on maintaining my performance in school and meeting new people to eventually set myself up for when I'm a rising senior?
