There's always a factor of uncertainty when it comes to interviews. If you get an SA stint at a somewhat reputable firm, then I would say that getting an interview at most firms would be possible. If you're starting your Soph. Year is Fall 2014, then you might as well get that gpa up too. 3.5-3.6 is in your reach.

This. Just work your ass off and pull up that GPA so you don't have to worry about it.

 

Just know the right people and be able to sell why you have a sub-par GPA.
