Really need some advice, struggling.
Looking for some advice, I am a sophomore at a non-target majoring in CS with a Finance minor. I have developed a back end trading platform that allows me to trade quantitatively. I am currently running a number of personal strategies and seeing very good returns. With this being said here is my situation.
Note: I hate making excuses for myself and this is in no way me "bitching".
- My first semester freshman year I basically almost failed out due to circumstances out of my control. Now my GPA has gone to shit. Although I have bounced back in recent semesters it is still sub 3.0.
- I have recently started applying for any and all summer (IB,S&T,HF,etc.) internships that I can find. I can estimate I have applied to around 40.
- I haven't gotten a response from one and am starting to really get frustrated for this main reason, my intelligence does not reflect my GPA. What should I be doing to different? Please be blunt with me I could use some criticism. Thanks.
You should be networking. Seriously. You have something you can actually talk about but nobody's going to get it unless they hear it from you.
Agreed with above. Sending a resume online with a sub 3.0 GPA has as much of a response as if you sent it to a black hole.
