What's the most impressive thing you've seen/heard someone do to land a FT/internship offer?

I'm looking to land an offer as an IB intern at a regional boutique for this upcoming summer. I'm from a semi-target with a mediocre GPA (3.4); I'm trying to think outside the box as to how I could impress a hiring manager into at least agreeing to an interview. Thanks in advance

 

If it is "doable" for someone, than that someone clearly doesn't need a job, not yet an internship.

“Destiny is a gift. Some go their entire lives, living existences of quiet desperation, never learning the truth that what feels as though a burden pushing down upon their shoulders is really a sense of purpose that lifts us to greater heights. Never forget that fear is but the precursor to valor, that to strive and triumph in the face of fear is what it means to be a hero. Don’t think. Become.”
