I take your word for it, but why is hotmail an autoding? As opposed to yahoo or gmail, or my school email?

I honestly didn't know hotmail was still a thing. Just use school or gmail.

kinda skimpy. Try to do a co-op while your in school to beef it up. Cold call and ask if they need free labor after class

Call up local PWM (including BB branches) and simeltaneously start networking with alums in whatever field you are interested in. Your present work experience (most important thing on a resume IMO) isn't going to make up for that gpa so you need to get some kind of "feeder" internship (hence pwm) that will help set you up serious IBD consideration, which will likely be at the MM or regional boutique level

 

Try to boost GPA while you still have a chance. Network your ass off. Get some really relevant extracurriculars. You need to start beefing up your CV from now on and keep working really hard for a few more years then try to get to a target B-school.

Invest first, investigate later.
 

Take classes over winter break. Improving your GPA is critical. Definitely reach out to alums and family friends, you never know where you might find a connection
