Non-target university business student

Hi I'm currently a second year finance student attending the American University of Beirut. Obviously not a target school, but it is ranked #1 in the middle east. Im thinking about going into investment banking but I feel like it may be tough for a student living in a foreign 3rd world country to achieve my goals. Even networking seems like much more of a challenge here as there isn't much of it. Can someone recommend anything that I can do to have better chances. However I hope to attend a top school in London for my Masters after the completion of my bachelors if that makes a difference).
