Freshman "To-Do List"

Hey guys, I'm new to WSO and this group. I'll be starting college in NYC in September and I am completely confused on what I should be doing to best position myself for a SA position junior year. From reading previous posts, I understand that I have to keep my GPA high in order to compete with the Target kids. Should I get a position in a commercial/retail bank to fill up my resume? Or should I target a higher finance internship? How should I go about networking? Thanks to anyone willing to give some feedback.
