3.5 at a target school help!

Honestly not even going to target for the BB's (maybe except one) because of my shit GPA. 
I'm targeting banks like RBC, Jefferies, and Evercore.
I'm from a target school (one of these schools: Dartmouth, Duke, Columbia) but I have a 3.5 GPA. Will I be able to pass the screening process or no...? How can I improve my chances (aside from networking since I'm already trying my best to network as much as possible).
I would really appreciate some advice.
 

 

U should target all of them. I know kids with ur GPA literally everywhere. Obviously places like evercore they are LEGIT smart people with that GPA but for BBs I think it’s not a huge deal if u can network properly you should never limit your chances.

The reality is you’re just insecure about it, structure a proper answer for it and then you’ll be golden. Most wont even care, some will sure. Either way if you choke in a superday it’s good practice so go for it
