Junior Summer Internship Help
Hello all!
I am completely freaking out since I have not been able to land a junior summer internship yet in finance, while I watch all my peers land superday after superday and sign offers at major BBs. I currently attend a target-school and am at the top of my class GPA wise (I have a 3.93/4.00) while dual majoring in Finance and Data Science. I am also pretty knowledged in most of the relevant technical areas for a finance career like Excel, as well as intermediate in Python.
I know my GPA and skills, as well as the school I attend, alone aren't enough to land me an internship, but I feel like for some reason I am being extra ignored as I rarely ever hear back from any of my applications. I know if I were just given the chance to have an internship, or even just an interview, I would definitely thrive.
I was wondering if anyone had any advice for me since it is getting pretty late and I don't know what else to do!
Thanks!

Check your resume, if you aren't even getting your foot through the door then that's your problem.
Have to network that's the key
Definitely check your resume. I have a far less impressive background than you and a liberal arts major, but I'm at a target and I got first rounds at like 75% of the random boutiques and MMs that I applied cold with zero networking.
