Advice for Rising Senior Aiming For IB

All,

I am a rising senior at Texas A&M University in Mays Business School with a major in Finance and minor in Economics. My GPA is currently 3.74 and I have 2 more years left. I really would like to go into IB and that is my goal. I spent a summer abroad studying Corporate Strategy at the London School of Economics. Last summer I shadowed a boutique yet prestigious wealth management firm and this summer I am interning with the commercial group in a very well known Oil and Gas company (the role is extremely analytical). I really don't have much of a foot in the door at all and am currently weighing my options for breaking into the industry, and it seems they are as follow:

-Aggies on Wall Street at TAMU (known for putting students into IB, apply in the fall) -MSF right out of college, preferred college being UT -MBA down the line? -Networking?

Any advice is welcome.

Thanks!
