Scoring a decent IB internship summer 2014

I currently am a junior at a no-name school, but transferring to a larger school next fall. My GPA is not too great (2.91), but a 3.16 current institution GPA. I have a decent resume, good leadership positions in university clubs (President of the Investment Club) and (VP of Accounting Association).

I am a finance major with a concentration in IB. I want to seek out an internship for this summer, how should I go about doing this? I saw the forum post about the list of Investment Banks and going about creating contacts and networking. I still plan on doing this, but need some professional advice. Thanks

Before anyone can help you, I think it may be valuable to clarify your school standing after your transfer; junior or senior? If you are a junior now, you kind of missed the boat for BB IBD internships. If I were you, I would try to network as much as humanely possible, create a solid story explaining your low GPA and why IB, and apply to some of the MM and botiques.

 

As mentioned before, networking is key. Because you're going to a non-target school first look into alumni to see if you can find any of them at reputable companies. Also, look at boutique and smaller firms around where you live and see if they are looking for intern positions. It never hurts to give them a call and ask if they can use any help.
