Non-target school wishing to work in PE/VC, what to do?

Was accepted into Villanova MSF program post-undergrad, but wanted experience, work as a FP&A at a big consumer bank in the Midwest. I wish to get my MBA in the future, but it's extremely hard to get any experience with my school name on my resume. My GPA was a 3.72, but not really any prior internships that are in line with PE/VC, should I look into getting a MFIN first? CFA? I'm not sure where to look.
