Landing Internship with low GPA

Hi. I'm a Junior attending at one of the Top 25 colleges with undergraduate business ranked as one of the Top 5 according to US News Ranking.
I'm trying to find an internship for next summer, but facing extreme difficulty due to very low GPA (3.1)...
I have two internship experiences (KPMG and at a small consulting firm), but I just can't seem to pass that resume screening stage...

What specific advice would you guys have for business students with low GPA? Do I have to only target non-paid internships or start-ups?

Thank you very much in advance..
