College freshman who wants advice

Hi, I’m currently a freshman at a non-target school, Providence College, and am interested in a career in consulting and private equity. I have a 3.8/4.0 GPA and am a member of a couple of the business clubs on campus. Any guidance or advice on what to do in college and after I graduate would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
