Please hlp thx!

you monkeys can shit on me idrc but I just need advice,

I am at a non-target with a low GPA (3.5). I originally went for neuroscience but did not enjoy it as much as I thought I would. I switched over to finance my soph year and tried to find what field/sector in finance interested me the most. When I was working last summer I listened to podcasts about different fields in finance and thought IB was the most interesting, so I did research and did not realize how far behind I was. I am currently a junior and do not have internships in the past summer relevant to IB or finance in general. I might be able to land an internship for a BO at a BB, and I will be taking my L1 in august. Does anyone have any advice if I am not able to land an internship this summer, I have reached out to university alumni and I have tried to search for what to do in my situation. I am just trying to land an internship for when I graduate and hopefully break in that way. I have thought about trying to improve my grades and try to get a master's at a target if even possible (most likely not). I just do not want to give up, but I am open to trying to find a different path to break in. I have done a lot of research and can't really seem to find what I should do. Hope yall can give advice
