Have a 3.1ish GPA as a sophomore at a nontarget. This summer I'll be at a fairly respected boutique and was just wondering if there was any way I could sign up for courses at a target school to boost my GPA and have it look legit on my resume. Also, would there by any chance be access to OCR?

According to your profile, you're a 1st year analyst who went to Wharton with a GPA of 3.8. Your question is moot.
In which case I suggest you stay at your current IB, and be happy you got a 3.8 from Wharton.
Son. You just got due diligenced.
Over and out.
Haha! Well put.
3.8 from Wharton, strong troll
Laughing so hard right now. What a clown.
Might need a pancreas transplant for laughin my guts out here. Good fuckin lord, talk about gettn called the fuck out.
lol what
Just trying to protect my identity boys.
Did you throw monkey shit at me?
Listen, the best way to protect your identity is to omit information rather than to fake it. People on here might take your advice too seriously if they think you're a 1st year analyst who went to Wharton.
Credibility and "status" is important on a forum whose primary purpose is to provide information and advice to monkeys that want to break into finance.
Shit-covered me agrees with this guy!
Bullshit.
That just made me question everyone's credibility on this site.
but good question though.
You won't have access to OCR
What makes you think with a 3.1 GPA at a non-target you'd be successful taking courses at a target? You basically have try to do nothing to achieve a 3.1 GPA
I'd focus on your relevant WE, seems like you have connections or you're a damn impressive interviewer given your SA opportunity as a Sophomore. Very impressive. I'd stick more with this strategy, expanding your network, etc. versus wasting $$ on a few courses at a 'target'. Keep doing what your good at [getting internships] and just improve your coursework.
