Shitty GPA

I am halfway through my second year of uni and I have a shitty gpa, no excuses I just didn’t take the start of uni as seriously as I should have I thought it would be much easier because I had great grades in high school, then I got hit with a reality check, my grades this semester are much better than first but nothing special. Because IB recruits a year in advance. Is there any hope for me making a FT position out of undergrad? not BB obviously (there is no way in hell I land an internship in IB during uni) so my goal in project finance/ commercial lending internships all the way through uni. PS. I don’t go to a target I have networked like hell and got some good connections inside a lot of MM firms. Any advice helps. Thank you.

 

What is "bad"? A 3.7? A 3.5? What is "not a target"? Like do you mean UCLA or Fordham? Gotta be more clear man. If you're class of 2026 still time to land a boutique for 2024 summer and raise your GPA to the point you're competitive. Are you in Canada?

 

I am also a Canadian. When you say nontarget, do you mean like a Schulich/Laurier/UBC or like a Telfer/Degroote/UTSC? With a 3.5 you better have god tier internships and somehow convince whoever you're chatting to overlook the combination of nontarget and low GPA. Honestly think that combo is a death knell if you're trying to go US from a Canadian school, even a 3.5 at Western would be impossible to land anything state-side.
