Freshman yr wrap up, am i in decent shape?

CUNY freshman, 3.5 gpa, finance major, not in a club yet but go to nerworking events once in a while. Stumbled into a summer s&t internship at a small new boutique (mainly cold calling + helping the traders) too. Want to do either ib or s&t, also want to go overseas (lol).

  1. am i in decent shape?
  2. what to do next year?
  3. anything else to look out for?

Get your GPA up by at least .1, of course, try to increase it more than that.

Join finance clubs. Those are good on your resumé and finance clubs often have recruiters come in to talk about internships and FT positions.

Your internship is great.
