better have some connections because that gpa blows will have you automatically denied. also the fraternity position wont do crap I was treasurer and left it off, too many associations ( negative or positive) for me to want to include it. You could probably get a position at a smaller company and work your way up with experience but will take a little longer
you just posted the same thing 3 weeks ago quit being annoying
False. Get your facts straight boss.
Your best bet with your gpa is to network like hell amongst members of your minority and I don't mean that in a racist way. I know that there are a few African American run PE firms out there that primarily hire AA's (I only know because we bought an MBE a few years back and the founder/seller wanted us to get a minority firm to co-invest, didn't happen and can't remember their name but they were somehow associated with American Securities) and there are parts of large pensions like Calpers and Calsters that invest primarily in Latino owned businesses and investment firms. I'm sure there are a hundred things like that out there. You have a selling point on the graduating early from HS part though so I'd use that also.
@DingDong08 thanks for the input. Thats a good idea and I have already been doing that for a few months now. With regards to my early graduation, I hope I can use that as a selling point. If I were to enter college at the standard age of 18-19, I would have a spectacular GPA at this point but i have been busting my ass to get it up.
Yea you're right this topic is so much different than:
Very young with low GPA trying to get into Wall Street. jamesjoe 22 4 weeks 4 days
@pubfinanalyst Again, check your facts. That was the date of the last reply. If you look at the reply before that, you will see that it was posted on July 1st, 2013. That was almost 1 year ago. That was also the last reply to a discussion post that I posted on the 27th of June 2013. I appreciate your first comment which was relevant to the advice I was looking for, but I don't see how posting this again after a year in order to get other opinions/tips is the least bit annoying. If you feel that way then I apologize, but I'd appreciate it if you could kindly shut the fuck up and let me be so I can receive the advice that I came here to seek. Thanks sport.
I'd stay an extra year and retake some of my classes. you graduate older and boost that GPA, plus gives you an extra year to network.
