hi, i'm an incoming sa at an eb, who is looking at potentially full time recruiting. i'm a double major so i've been pretty busy with school this year, and haven't done any internships or extracurriculars since last summer. i'm a little worried that my resume will look stale - should i try to look for an internship or research next semester?

Hey man - no one cares.
If you're at a target, I would get your GPA up. If you're at a non-target, I would still argue that no one cares and to get your GPA up.
The most important thing when FT recruiting is a full time offer from the bank you SA at. That would tell everyone that interviews you that this is a competent person who I can rely on.
So if anything, I would study up technicals, PowerPoint, and some excel modeling. (but mainly the first 2). Go get that return offer, and then you can start to worry about FT recruiting.
Gpa is around a 3.9 but taking hard classes this semester and next so might drop to a 3.85 or worst case 3.8. Also I go to a west coast target. You think that’s enough?
Yeah that's fine - again focus on the return, you seem like you have everything lined up man with GPA
