Advice for a rising soph with asset management experience

I'm a rising sophomore at a top 10 business school with a 3.9 freshman year GPA and this summer I interned at a L/S fund with AUM of around $20 billion, putting me ahead of almost everyone in my graduating year. I did a great job and should have great recommendations. My goal right now, which I know is a tough one to achieve, is to be an analyst at a large PE firm out of college. One such as Blackstone, KKR, Apollo, etc. I believe that if I use this summer's experiences to my advantage, I will be able to achieve this goal. I'm looking for advice from anyone that will give it about what I should do to work toward this. One thing I would like to know is who to intern for in 2016 that would allow me to intern at a Blackstone-type company for my final year in order to secure a full-time offer.
