Diversity Sophmore at Target With Low GPA

Hey, I'm a diverse sophomore at a target school doing a quantitative double major. I figured out that I have an interest in finance early this year and have been trying to figure out recruiting from this point. This last semester was rough on me and I might end with a 3.2-3.3 and I know for a fact that I can raise it given time(a semester taking joke classes could have me at a 3.5, I'm also considering dropping the double major bc of how important GPA is for finance recruiting), is there anything I can do considering that recruiting is opening up right now?
