Sophomore with Strong Resume, Network, Decent school, 3.4 GPA. ADVICE WELCOME
I’m a sophomore at a regional semi-target, but I’m aiming for NY. I have a decent network through family friends and reaching out cold since early my first semester in college. I also have a pretty strong resume: sales, accounting, good talking point jobs, leadership positions, and I’ll be at a non-NYC boutique M&A shop this summer. However, I have a 3.4 GPA. This is from one semester(transfer), so it will swing a decent amount this semester. I have been grinding and have been doing well, hopefully with 3.6-3.7 at the end of the semester. I thought after this semester I would be pretty good with a better GPA and deal experience on my resume that I could talk about in interviews, but with this extremely accelerated timeline, I am feeling pretty much fucked. My plan is to work on GPA right now, and some apps will be closed but not all will be done. Also, non-core happens after core from what I’m aware of. I am networking my ass off, but is there anything else you recommend? I'm not going to take this timeline being bent over, but I don't think I have a competitive chance applying right now. Would love anyone’s thoughts, Thank you.

Check with your academic advisors and see if there are any accelerated summer classes you can take. I know some schools do 1 month fast tracked courses for kids leaving for internships. Since you only have one semester of classes with your current gpa it may be enough to swing you to the 3.5 general cutoff in time.
