Summer Internship 2.8 GPA

I was wondering where I can be applying to land an internship in investment banking. The only problem is my GPA is a 2.8 which will probably be a 3.0 once I graduate. I am junior. I know trying to get into a goldman or jp isnt going to happen. So where can i go?????

You're referring to this coming summer? You're a little late if you're beginning your search now. SA recruiting has been largely done for months.

You're best bet will be to cold call boutiques.

"I know you think you understand what you thought I said but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."
 

When looking at boutiques pick 3-4 cities nearby and just Google M&A services, restructuring services, etc. A lot of boutiques only focus on 1-2 services so this might be more effective than just searching boutiques.
