College junior seeking finance internship with a low gpa + one internship

Hello,

I just transferred to a a four year, but my cumulative gpa at community college ended up being a 2.65. My major gpa is about the same also. Fortunately, I am doing well this semester and i’m aiming to get a 3.5-3.75 gpa, which will possibly boost up my cumulative to a little over 3.0. Applications for 2016 summer finance internships have opened up and i’m looking to apply but most require a 3.0 or higher. I do have one internship experience in finance with a big engineering company though. If I apply online, will the company automatically reject students with gpa lower than a 3.0?? Two companies I would like to apply to is Cisco (financial analyst) and Visa.

Are you considering any other companies besides the two? If you are then my next question is are you willing to take internships abroad?

@HumptyDumpty why do you ask? Do you know something available abroad? If so, please share.
