Short Intro, First-timer open to advice

Hello everyone, I'm new to WSO and still trying to find my way around. A quick background, I'm an international student from Singapore currently entering her junior year as a Finance major here in NYC (non-target). I'm looking to break into IB/PE and from what I've read in the forums here, it's going to be very hard work. OCR in my school is pretty good and the alumni is active. I'm open to any advice on how to get work experience, internships, networking opportunities and generally any tips about the finance industry here in NY.
