Well, you've already got the 3.35, can't do anything except work harder next semester and try and network your way into a SA gig
Holy crap are you me? I'm in the EXACT same situation...
I really don't know how to network any more though. I've tried contacting the very few alumns at my school in banking, they ignored me/didn't respond and my family has no contacts either. Plus, my ECs aren't any good and now my grades are no good either, so I don't know what to do.
On a side note, has anyone, excluding people who started a company or made millions off of the stock market, known anyone who ended up being successful (at least upper middle class) despite not working for a big name company/going to an ivy/not being an academic/EC stud? I really, really believe that I am smarter than this and that I can be successful once I start working, but my lack of pedigree/grades/ECs will basically make it impossible for me to work at a brand name firm out of undergrad, which means going to a top tier MBA will be hard and then the rest of my career prospects are worthless too
First of all, you probably mean upper-middle income. Class and income are not the same thing, but that's another topic.
Second of all, if by upper-middle income you mean $500,000 - 1 million gross per year. Yes, of course....... you @$!@#$
Wow wost attitude ever dude. You have a 3.6, you're not dead.

Don't fret dude, just tell your story. Own why you didn't do well, don't blame it on your group. Let's face it, it's marketing- you could have done the work and made up for their inabilities. Having said that, get involved in something you believe in..now... and be able to explain why it's valuable/how you added value/what you learned along the way. A 3.6 is nothing to sneeze at, but go and play the law of averages and beat the shit out of that 3.35 and you're fine. Most people have a throwaway semester in college, the question is if it is treated as a learning experience and not repeated.
See that's the thing though, I don't know how I could have done any more work for them. I wrote 10 pages out of a 20-25 page paper, babied them throughout the project, edited their POS writing, one idiot didn't even practice before our presentation, etc. I know I can't say that in interviews (frankly, I'm not even getting responses/rejection letters forget about interviews), but seriously, what more can I do? I have other classes too, so its not like I can sit there and pound out a 25 page paper without failing the rest of my classes. What makes it even worse is that the fuckers gave me a low score on the peer report saying that I was "too bossy" when I was the only reason we got a 70% on the project and not an F. I'm just really pissed off and stressed right now. It truly amazes me how rotten my luck has been.
If there was no peer review process, your professor is worthless. In that case, I would advice you to go talk to the professor but have a quantifiable way to show your contribution relative to the lack of contribution by the other group members. At this point, it can't hurt and you might make some headway on getting a little bump in your grade
