New to it all, but want to get ahead.

Hi WSO community,

I am writing this post as a freshman majoring in Finance at a state-school in the midwest. I am new to this website/community so if I screw something up just let me know.

After doing my fair share of research, I have come to the conclusion that a career in investment banking is by far one of my most exciting choices. However, I am slightly discouraged to find out I am already at a disadvantage based on the school I attend. What would you recommend me doing during my time here at school in order to best set myself up for a successful career launch into IB? (books, websites, things to research I'm open to anything that would help)
