Low GPA, junior summer internship? Help??
I'm a female rising junior at NYU CAS studying economics. I have a 3.03 GPA and I want to recruit in the coming fall, however, I worry that I won't be taken seriously by any of the firms that recruit at my campus. I'm not sure which career path attracts me right now, to be honest I'm very confused because I don't come from a heavy business/finance background. I know I want to work in finance, perhaps consulting or a back-office job at a bank. I'm still doing more research to find out what attracts me. This summer, I interned at a start-up consulting firm. Aside from that, I have some other start-up experiences from my freshman summer and fall. I feel like I don't have a good enough GPA or strong internship experience to get taken seriously for a junior summer internship. I need some advice as to what I should do, what I can improve on (obviously the GPA is a given), and what I should look into. I'm very, very lost :(
I believe a few solid internships will help you stand out.
Reach out to alumni in the different career paths you are exploring and talk to them
