I'm a rising senior and I have a 3.5 from a non-HYPWharton Ivy. I'm an Engineering major, but I will only have one IB internship from a boutique after this summer. I recently decided to change from engineering to finance, but have been networking hard for FT recruiting in the fall. Do I have a shot at BBs or top elite boutiques, or should i just settle for MMs?

Of course you have a good shot! Are you kidding me?
Great school. Good enough GPA. Awesome Major. OK Junior Year summer internship.
Keep on pushing and you will do well. I know guys who made it to GS/MS/JPM for full-time and the entire three summers at college they were simply taking classes or fucking around.
Is there anything else I should be doing besides doing informational interviews with people? How can i maximize my chances against kids who have up to 3 internships under their belt?
Don't try to make these informationals formal (at least that's what it sounds like). Make it personal and keep these in-person meets (phone/emails should be your last pref).
How about instead of asking this forum, you network really hard and try to get an offer at a boutique, EB, MM, or BB? I did it this summer and got an offer from a local boutique. Considering that you're two years farther along AND have a 3.5 at an Ivy, you have a chance if you do it right.
Good luck.
Well you could delay graduation to do another internship but that is probably not your best move. I think you are doing the right things as-is.
yes, linkedin.
I see you with that stellar classifications acronym username.
Haha, it's literally the only thing i remember from my astronomy class
if it's possible to do it from a non-target with a 3.5, you should be just fine. if your school has OCR, make sure you get into that. and have some more confidence in yourself!
