Can I break into Asset Management?

Hello, I am a rising senior at a public university, and I would love to start in Asset Management at the end of my senior year. I currently have a 3.6 and am in a corporate finance internship right now at a Fortune 500 company where they have me in Global Financial Compliance. Along with that, I have had an operations internship. I have also received the Bloomberg market concepts and Wall Street prep valuation certificates, I know that doesn't matter, but I thought I would mention it. In anyone's opinion, do I have a shot in asset management and if so, what actions would you recommend I take to receive an offer?

I assume that you’re not at a top university since you didn’t specify. With a 3.6 it would be pretty difficult even if you’re applying from a top school. I think you should look at equity research to start.
