Help with Investment Banking networking/pathway

I am currently a rising Senior at a non-target school looking to get into Ib. I interned over the past two summers at big 4 but realized it wasnt for me and am hoping to making the switch.

Any advice for how I can successfully land a full time offer at a BB this late in the game? Would trying for full time, MSF, or working in big 4 for a year then trying to switch be the best case scenario?

Anyone working at a BB that would be open to networking with me would be much appreciated! Thank you all!
