Investment Banking Help

I graduated December of 2021 with a bachelors degree unrelated to business. I graduated with Magna Cum Laude at a non-prestigious/Ivy League university in Florida. I’ve decided recently to go into finance, specifically Investment banking and I’m not sure where to start. I’ve been reading up on it and it seems that the only people going into IB are people from the top Ivy League schools with other universities like UCLA, NYU, and University of Chicago, and the other target schools. I just do not know what to do since I don’t have a background in business. Is it possible to go into investment banking from a non target school? If so, what would be my next steps?
