What internships should I be looking for?

I'm a rising junior at a nontarget who over this quarantine has realized I want to pursue a career in finance. I'm in two virtual externships this summer, but other than that I have no sort of relevant work experience. An eventual goal of mine would be to eventually break into IB through a top MBA program. What type of jobs are best right after college to get into an MBA a few years down a road, as IB right out of college isn't very realistic for me. I also would like to know the type of internships I should be targetting, as I would like to eventually work in NYC but I'm currently in Virginia.
