Big 4/Wall Street Internships for college student - Sophmore this coming fall

Hello everyone, this is my first post on Wall Street Oasis so forgive me if I posted this on the wrong forum. Anyway straight to the point, I'll be a sophomore this coming fall at a non target school in NY. I'm planning on declaring a double major in Accounting and Finance (current GPA is 3.5, looking to bring that up), which leads to my question, what do big 4 or wall street internships look for in college interns (if they even hire college interns), generally and specifically? Things like, campus involvement, related coursework, past work experience. I'm looking to land one in the summer of 2013, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes (all jokes aside). I'm aware that I might be a little ahead of myself as I've herd from the grapevine a couple of times that they mostly look for juniors and seniors, but eh, fuck it. Appreciate you reading this far, if you have any advice let me know. Thank you.
