High School Senior aiming for high finance

Im a high school senior and I’ll be attending a university that has a relatively decent track record of placement into IB, but is still a non-target. I am trying to make it somewhere into high finance after undergrad (looking at IB, Consulting, VC). What should I be doing right now to give myself a leg up against my peers, especially since I’m going to a non-target school. Also, if anyone has some advice on which I should focus on and pursue that would be great.
