I am in need of some wisdom here. I am 24 years old and I have an associates degree in criminal justice from community college and was a Deputy Sheriff for a year. I decided that law enforcement isn't for me, and I also wanted to get my bachelors degree, so I resigned from being a Sheriff and applied to Penn State. I am currently a Finance Major at Penn State University and am also doing an economics minor. I just finished my sophomore year and am preparing to apply for Investment Banking summer analyst internships for next summer 2018. My current GPA at Penn State is a 3.66.
I wanted to know if you all think I even have a chance at getting an interview for a summer analyst internship at a BB firm? I know that my GPA is fairly low, especially from being at a non-target school, so I am worried that I won't even get an interview. I am getting married in 2 months, and also 24 years old, so I don't really have any time to join any clubs because bills need to be paid. The lack of student org. participation is another contributor to my concern.
Other than taking classes, I work 30 hours a week as the accounts payable manager at small local outdoor gear/clothing retailer. I also have two semesters of being an undergraduate TA for an introductory macroeconomics course. The only thing that I feel I really have going for me is my passion for the financial markets and trading, which results in me spending a few hours a day reading WSJ, Bloomberg, etc.
If anyone is willing to provide me with an wisdom, recommendations, or advice, it would be much appreciated.
