Advice on major change?

Long story short, I used to be an EE major. Fucked up my GPA so I changed my major to Supply Chain. I now realize that Finance is what I’m truly interested in and plan on changing to Finance. I’m going into my 3rd year at a 5 year program. Only problem is that my GPA is currently at a 2.8. I have done two unrelated internships so far, one as a Systems Engineer at a defense contractor, and one as a Logistics Analyst for a medical devices company. I know how to code (not good at it though), know sql, excel, power bi, python, etc. I’ve also taken a couple math classes like Multivariable Calc, Linear Algebra, Prob/Stat 1,2. How hard would it be and how should I secure an internship in Corporate Finance with this background. I know my GPA is gonna make it very difficult but I would like to become a financial analyst or portfolio analyst. IB, PE, AM are all cool too but the likelihood of landing a job in one of those industries is unrealistic so I just want to have realistic expectations. Please give me some advice. Thank you
