Getting into Venture Capital

I was wondering if anyone here has experience with the VC route. I just graduated college and my SA position for a REPE firm just got turned virtual with consideration for full time during 2021 summer. I have always been interested in working for a VC firm but never seen to find open positions.

Do VC firms only hire out of mba programs? If so, which programs are feeders into these firms? What is my best route to cracking in the industry?
