Where to Start

Hi I come from a non target school with a good GPA and want to get into the fiance field with an internship in Private Equity or Investment Banking. Graduating in 2019. Besides making connections where should I focus my time? Is the certain ways to find the right companies I should be applying to? When should I start reaching out for a summer 2018 internship?
