Good luck with background check.
Explain that you're GPA fluid and identify as a 3.7
If your GPA is a 2.6 and you go to a school that JP Morgan doesn't come to to recruit at (even for BO), they probably don't want to hire you. Sorry. Good luck - my advice is to go try smaller boutique shops or go directly through a recruiter who can make an intro for you and then let you explain our GPA.
To be frank, first if you're in Canada and looking to go to the NY office. You need to be at a target school (for the US not just Canada) so Ivey/Queen's McGill, or an absolutely exceptional candidate from one of the Canadian targets (long list). Since, JP doesn't come to your campus I'm going to go ahead and assume that you don't go to one of the top three.
In that case, with a 2.6 GPA, and from the responses above no great reason for having one. You need to re-adjust your expectations. You won't be going to an NY office, and you're likely going to have your resume go straight into a recycling bin on first pass at any of the Big 5/BBs/and EBs in Toronto.
My best advice would be to network extensively with the boutiques in Toronto, you should be looking at places like GMP/ Cormark/ Origin Merchant Partners/ M Partners, etc. You're still gonna have a long road ahead of you to get your foot in the door at any of those places, but you may get lucky and have a chance to really prove that you aren't who your GPA says you are.
