I’m in the same boat lol. Heading into sophomore year with a 3.4 at smu. Unfortunately I’m doing Econ but we’ll see. I made a post similar to yours and was told just to keep networking and get as many internships year round as you can get. That way you crush interviews and stand out in internships. Also start messaging ppl from your school on LinkedIn there is someone out there with similar hurdles that you currently have. GL
If you are going to give up after 1 semester that's just special needs. Do the math... you get 4.0 next semester thats a 3.7, the semester after that 3.8+
Just think about how bad you want it.
I had an absolute shitter of a first semester as well. Got my shit together 2nd semester of freshman year and came into recruiting with a 3.7 (rounded). You’ll be fine
