Looking for Advice- incoming junior with no finance background or experience.

How screwed am I? I'm an incoming junior at a non-target state school. I'm a Psychology major with a below average gpa, no finance background or courses taken, no clubs joined. I had a bad 4 years, and was very indecisive, going from Law to Psychology. I have decent finance connects through my family, but realistically, I want an internship at a big name firm next year. Where do I start? I'm fine with doing consulting, accounting, wealth management, wherever. Just something to get my foot in the door. Any advice is helpful.
