Banking job search

I just graduated from college and until the spring thought I was going to Europe for a gap year before I started working. When spring rolled around I decided I was going to go straight to work if I could find a job this late in the game. My GPA is not stellar, although the last year it has been above 3.5. Have I waited too long to have a decent shot at getting a job? I would like to do M&A, Real Estate Financing, or SLF. Any advice?
