How long do I have to improve my GPA?

Whats up guys. I am currently a freshman at a semi-target. My GPA is on the lower side (3.4), and I was wondering how long I have to improve it? Is it just til next spring? Because I know BB Internships recruit spring of your sophomore year, so is that all I have til? Thank you

You are at a semi-target so I would say you have until the end of your sophomore year. If you get into some accelerated timelines (relative to you being a semi-target) it might be the end of first semester sophomore year. If you get people to push you through the phone screens and don't have super days until after the sophomore year, you get till then

End of sophomore year for most apps. One semester of a 3.4 is not hard to bring up because it's only a few credits. just take the easiest classes you can, or online/summer courses if possible
