Unsure of what to do with my future, advice please

Alright so i'm in the summer of my sophomore year of college at Baruch. I have a 3.4 GPA, and i still have two years left. So far my work experience has been a research analyst and this stock broker internship im doing at Wall street this summer. I'm still unsure of which direction to go in. Do you guys think i could still do ibanking or trading? Would it still be possible even though i don't attend a top tier and my grades aren't that exceptional? suggestions/comments/ideas appreciated

 

boost that gpa up to like a 3.7 to 3.8, get an internship at a BB (as closely related to banking as you can) and the most important thing is networking. if ur gpa is good, you got some valuable experience and you know someone, you can probably get an interview at least. then its all you.

so can you still get into IB, the answer is yes. will it be hard, the answer is also yes. but some good contacts will definitely open up doors.
