Internship advice

Hi, currently a sophomore at semi target university. Majoring in econ minor in cs. Looking for advice on types of internships to pursue and advice on passing resume screening. So far I have applied to many, but no luck. I have a low gpa (high major gpa) due to missing a lot of school freshman year(can explain if questioned in interview). Gpa not listed, work experience in student housing, research projects, selective business clubs, and two working econ research papers. Looking to intern at hf, bb, or cre. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Go join a school club or make friends trying for ib and recruit with them, unfortunately you just don’t know what you’re doing and recruiting wise you’re kinda a mess. 1. Why cs if you’re going into finance. 2. No GPA=No interview 3. 0 ib internships-pe/search fund 4.probably no networking
