Need some analyst advice!

Hey guys so just to introduce myself I am currently going into my 3rd year at Laurier (in Canada) and also got into the co op program, I want to go into Asset Management. My co-op program consists of 3 terms (4 months each) that alternate with school. So when searching for my first co op job, i didnt have much experience at an investing company (didn't have an extracurriculars either) or anything and i was trying to get a financial analyst position for my first term to use as a stepping stone for an analyst at an AM firm but wasn't able to. Since then, i have earned a vp of finance position at a club at my school, I am an accountant for my first co op term and have also completed the canadian securities course (CSC). I would just like to know what my chances of getting a financial analyst or even an analyst at an investing company may be? And any advice would help. (btw my current gpa is a B+ average). Thanks!!!!
