Do my experiences make up for a low (3.4) GPA?

Thinking of graduating a semester late to re-recruit and raise my gpa, not sure if its worth it or if ill be alright recruiting normally. Be brutally honest pls.

Also you are severely selling yourself short on a lot of the experiences. Don't say "researched companies in bloomberg terminal", cus that sounds like you just scrolled through TOP stories all day... everyone will assume you can navigate bloomberg if you worked at a tiger cub and do undergrad biz so don't worry about that.

say some shit like "conducted in‐depth bottoms‐up fundamental analysis across industries and businesses to develop differentiated investment theses" or "performed detailed valuations with in‐depth three statement financial models and DCF analyses" etc. Say something about why you recommended that company, you get the gist 

 

Heads up you did list your college ( or at least imply where you went). Otherwise agreed with others, looks good.
