Rising Finance Senior with a 3.62 GPA at a non-target school with no internship looking for advice on Big 4 full time recruiting.

Hi everyone, I currently have a 3.62 GPA heading into my final year of college and I am looking for advice on landing a full time position at a Big 4 firm. I am really discouraged by the fact that I do not have a summer internship or the best networking skills, but I was hoping anyone could lend some advice on what I should do to best position myself for a full-time job in Big 4. I wouldn't consider my university a target school, but a handful of students do enter Big 4 every year. Any help is greatly appreciated.
