fucked up this semester, recruiting chances?
hello,
unfortunately I have fucked up this semester and my GPA will drop to 3.6 - is it still worth the time to network and apply for BB/EB banking and PE roles for summer 2022 (current sophomore)? i feel like there are so many target kids with 3.8, 3.9+ so wondering whether it is worth my time or if I should pivot to less competitive areas of finance
things I do have going for me:
-working at hedge fund with several billion in AUM this summer, one of the ones that ppl sort of jerk off to on this site
-getting an academic paper published
-leadership position in a finance club
-STEM + finance double major
-decent network built up
should clarify, I'm from a non-target (like 1 decent bank actually recruits from my school)
As far as I know most BB's have a cutoff for 3.5, but some EB's and I think Citi? has a cutoff of 3.7. With that said tho, your experience is solid especially with that hf and I know people who were able to get around that gpa cutoff limit with the help of their network
