As someone who went to a non-target and just partied throughout college, I have been in a similar position to you buddy.  I played hockey D3 and had no time to do school work because of all the concussions so my GPA was a bit lower than average and the best i-bankers have like over 3.3 averages! My friend who is a day trading genius only has a 3.1 and he is the smartest guy I've met.  My best advice would be to just ask your Dad to get you a position somewhere because thats what I did. Now Im working for some small botique ibanking company that is called Centerview Partners that even tho isnt all that big and well known like the bigger banks (my first choice was Goldman Sachs but apparently you have to do a bunch of interviews that I was not prepared for) it is still alright and pays decently well.
