Struggling to find 2021 Summer Internship - Can't even get interviews!

Hi everyone,

I'm currently a third-year studying finance and data science at a target school in NYC. Originally, this summer I began the application process for IB, but couldn't get past video interviews and often was straight up declined after submitting my resume. Recently, I've been applying to finance-related internships at F500 companies such as American Express through my university's Handshake, but it still doesn't seem like I'm having much luck.

I believe it's my GPA that is immediately dinging me - it's a 3.51. Seeing as I'm already so far behind in the process, I was hoping to get some tips and for someone to take a glance at my resume. I'm struggling to build my network since I'm stuck at home due to COVID and starting to feel down about my chances. 

Thanks in advance.
