gpa troubles.

I'm at a non-target school: McGill University in my first-year of a three year program.

My Gpa is currently: 3.25

Will I even get any interviews having such a low Gpa? What can I do? Also, 2 of my subjects are 78 and 1 of my subject is 79. That really sucks because it's B+ which is a 3.3 while A- is a 3.7

What else can I do beside Gpa to improve my chances for a ibank/PE/Equity job?

I should have researched the Lil Troy song more vigorously...

I apologize for my mis-spelling of the ubiquitous Chevy to which you refer!

My black girlfriend drives one, with the top dropped, wait! i'm not making sense, I'll shut up.

 

I tell you what, you guys give great advices on these forum. I really don't know what to tell you wannabeibanker, I'm in the same situation with the non-target school deal, go for a Master at a different school.
