How can a Canadian break into a US mega fund PE?

I'm still currently completing my undergrad with an internship in asset management, but I was wondering how I could best position myself to recruit for a mega fund PE? I don't go to Ivey or Queens so is there an American b-school that these funds typically recruit from that would increase my chances?
