Not worth your time to take classes. Your time is better spend to network with the people at BB and EB. Have a great story to explain why you had a 3.4 and move on.
GPA is only applicable to your first job. As you start working, all that matters is your EXPERIENCE. BB cares about what you can bring to the firm; that's it. Not how well you can study.
Thanks for you input. Not to be rude, but just wondering if you are currently working at a bank right now? The advice sounds great, but just making sure it's coming from real experiences.
3.4 vs. 3.5 doesn't matter. Enjoy your summer
