What are my chances given scenario
Sophomore CS major / Math minor at (HY(P)) with a whopping 3.3 GPA (got distracted spring semester because my sister died). How bad are my chances for IB in BB (GS/JPM/MS) and i’m assuming i’m auto not in the running for EBs right (stricter GPA requirement?). If one is about to respond that I just have to “network harder” what does that specifically mean? Do I have to just only apply with referrals or what? Be honest please and let me know if I still stand a chance. If not, I’ll just have to pursue SWE then but would rather know now than spreading myself thin for little to no chance at BB or EB.
