What can I break into with a 3.4 at HYP?
So I somehow got into HYP because I was a strong-willed person. College has been hard. I've had depression for a while so it's been difficult to do schoolwork. I'm a sophomore now. I wanted to do consulting(McKinsey was the dream) but my 3.4 is clearly too low for that so maybe I could break into I-banking if I networked a lot? Recruiting for 2020 is happening now and I'm doing my best to apply to all the insight days and go to the events but I also don't have an internship for summer 2019 yet. I've applied to a couple I but just never hear back. Is there a place for me in the I-banking or consulting world? I have a couple of leadership positions(president) and am involved in some business clubs.
If you network really hard, investment banking at a boutique is do-able for sure. Consulting at a second-tier or third-tier place is still on the table. You can break into less popular career paths like real estate.
Don’t listen to the clueless kid above. 3.4 from those 3 schools, you should be able to easily get looks from BBs and MBBs if you add some interesting extra curriculars to your resume.
Not sure why you have monkey shits. You're absolutely right.
What do you think qualifies as an "interesting extracurricular"?
This is 100% correct
You are a Savage. Whatever you want you have to get. You can do anything
If you have a 3.4 at a HYP anything is still possible. I had no issue getting looks and interviews from EB/BB with a 3.4-3.6 at a non-ivy target.
Assuming you’re networking and doing all you should be
~98% of stuff is open to you
What's your major? IB shouldn't be an issue if you network and getting a T2 consulting gig is also possible.
Econ. Thanks for the response.

I don't think anybody's cared about my 2.8 (I used to highlight my major 3.8) since I got my CFA charter or those other six letters.
