You are not cold calling or cold emailing, so you are relying on your resume being sufficient to land interviews. The people who are looking at your resume only spend a minute looking at your resume, and the key things they look at are School, GPA, and recent internships. I think the problem here is that you are not qualified/impressive enough in each of those categories to get an interview (especially because you didn't even put a GPA so they could be assuming its

 

Because you clearly do not want it badly enough. If you have spent more than 5 minutes on this forum you will notice a very common theme: submitting a resume anonymously does literally nothing for you. If you want an internship in finance you need to start networking. Look for alumni, look for parents friends, look up people on websites, do wahtever it takes, but get yourself talking to actual people.

Go read the thread "what makes people believe they dont need to network, and then ask yourself that same question. You ahve a 3.4 from a semi target, what are you thinking? I'm probably being harsh but i feel like this has been beaten to death. If you want something go get it, do not wait for it to come to you and wait til you hear back from the 5 places you submitted an online application.

 

i actually know someone who is from vancouver and goes to mcgill (assuming u r from the business school). anyways, just be on top of your network list. call, e-mail and even meet with people who might be able to help you. just dont be annoying. If a person doesn't reply to within a week, send another e-mail or call, if they are still ignoring you or avoiding you, move on to another person. it's not personal, its beeeeeznes. good luck.
