Do my experiences make up for a low (3.4) GPA?
Thinking of graduating a semester late to get more experience and raise my gpa for FT recruiting but not sure if its worth. Pls be brutally honest.

You'd say I have a shot at BB for ft?
I would be surprised if this hasn’t come up in interviews but how did you get that big scholarship and now have a 3.4?
I had very strong essays as I have a natural gift for creative writing. I am also dumber now than I was in hs.
relatable, me too
You didn't post any experiences?
Updated the post, I had to take it down cause i accidently had my school on there
There are terrible lines on your resume. Don't you notice this? Put half a space below the lines.
Use Times New Roman font.
If you are at a target/semi-target school, you'll most likely be fine with recruiting given your experience. Just network at ton.
If you are at a state/non-target school, might be worth taking an extra semester to boost gpa (if scholarship covers it)
In my opinion the experience matters more than the GPA. There's all sorts of weirdos out there with high GPAs.
