What sort of internships can I take to help me get into IB from a non-target school?

I'm currently a freshman in a non-target school for IB (CUNY Baruch) and I was wondering what sort of internships I could take to boost my resume that are not strictly IB related - meaning back office, something in econ or accounting, or even something completely unrelated. Also, would it make sense to look for internships in B or C-list banks? Are there any that would realistically be available for a freshman from a non-target school?
