The "IN" with Wall Street

I, like many of you on this site, aspire to be an investment banker upon graduation. Obviously if you come from a target school (I.e. Harvard, Yale, Wharton, etc...) this might not be a problem. I don't come from a name brand school such as these. I finally made a contact with JPMorgan in the recruiting office on Wall Street for their analyst program and this has allowed me to get an interview. I want to know some of the other techniques and strategies others from non-target schools have used to gain an "in" with Wall Street? Please share as much as possible! I'm very interested to know the ways others got their big chance on the street.

 

Obviously from the tone of the post I don't take the answer to be simple and straight forward. Obviously I'm looking for varying perspectives from people. I think you would be best suited to read the post again...
