How to get into MBB from non-target school

EDIT - Deleted the original post because it was pretty poorly written. Top comment made me think and it did not reflect the kind of person I would hope that I am.

Regardless, was just wondering how I could increase my chances at getting a job in an MBB company while attending a non-target school, that being Boston University. What are some specific things that I should strive to do? Thanks.

Answer: Get a 4.0, become the president of the schools consulting group, get relevant internships freshman/sophomore year, network and build relationships with firms you are interested in years before the official application.

Real Answer: Boost your low self-esteem and self-loathing of being a victim.
