Formula for Success

I am currently a sophomore at a very small private school. It is considered a "prestigious" school in state, but most people out of state have never heard of it. It did get the 19th rank for USnews' Northern Universities-Masters Top Schools. I have a 3.9 GPA, and I am majoring in Business Management with a concentration in Finance. I don't work, but I do volunteer at the hospital every other weekend.

I am sort of a non-traditional student. I was in the military before I went to college (computer operator), so I am a little older (23).

I am a little worried about getting my foot in the door. How do I land those internships? My school does not have any business clubs (well it does have a club for pr). It has two honor societies: Omicron Delta Epsilon and Sigma Beta Delta. At the moment I am not a member of any on campus organizations. I have made Dean's List the last two semesters. None of the big banking employers recruit at my college.

I am going to stay at my school and get my MBA. My school does not require work experience before getting your MBA. Would it be wise of me to take a break and work in between my undergrad and grad school? Should I take the traditional 2 year break to work as an analyst? I live about 30 minutes away from Washington DC. Does anyone have any advice for networking, other than going to my career center?

Thank you in advance.
