Early on, if you’re seriously going to limit yourself to M&A, consider interning at one of the companies in IMAP. I, too, interned my freshman year for an M&A consulting company. However, since I had familial relations to rely on, I’m uncertain what the exact probability is for actually getting a job as a college student in a M&A firm. Our company refused to give internship offers to the children of 2 of our clients, so I can say from personal experience that the chances are very low. Nevertheless, it costs nothing to try.

Just warning you that M&A is usually not something that people like to do for a living. You have to have a strange sense of enjoyment to really like doing M&A work.
