How can I excel in Finance and land a good job/Internship, while not being at a target school.

I go to Temple University, and I have often been told that since I'm not at a target school, it becomes extremely difficult to land a job or internship. What can I do to keep up with my peers? I'm ending my first year, but I plan on graduating a year early.
