College GPA...what exactly should I be aiming for

<p>Hey Guys, </p>

<p>I go to a top ten undergraduate Business school (USC) and my first semester here is winding down. I loved my business classes but had a much..poorer relationship with my other two classes. At the end of the day my GPA is shaping up to be a 3.4 (My major GPA is a 3.6...but I have only taken two major classes so I am not sure what that means)</p>

<p>I am currently in a Major/Concentration + double minor program</p>

<p>Business Administration with focus in Business Econ
Minors in Management Consulting and Operations </p>

<p>I am hoping to go into management consulting, I took the corresponding course this semester, got the A, did research with my professor and have his rec letter. However, I hear that getting your first internship can be rough and I am not sure how much the 3.4 GPA hurts me. </p>

<p>So I guess my question is this.</p>

<p>Is a 3.4 GPA for a business major good (enough) to land an internship during school and a consulting job after college?</p>

<p>Yes I know the application is much more than the GPA but will an employer look down on me for it and would I have to do amazing things out side of the class to get myself on equal ground with everyone else?</p>

<p>let me know, </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>My friend doesn’t even list her GPA on her resume and she’s gotten lots of interviews, so you might be okay. Just balance it out with work experience.</p>

<p>Networking and experience. GPA is a minor consideration.</p>

<p>3.4 is fine.</p>
