GPA for Point72 Academy SA

At a decent target (Columbia/Penn/Duke/UChicago). International transfer student, graduation delayed a year due to transfer + major switch. Studying Math and CS, taken a few PhD-level courses.

Current school GPA: less than 3.3, might not improve after this term. Previous school GPA: 3.8.

Been following 3 companies for 3–5 quarters, building models, genuinely interested in fundamental L/S equities. Internships are non-US but all finance related.

Point72 Academy requires a transcript, worth applying or absolutely no shot?
