Hi guys!
I’m a finance major with a 2.7 GPA. I’m approaching my senior year of college and I have yet to receive any internships related to finance. I had the luck to be a teacher’s assistant at a private college. I was wondering what my options are for a successful future. What should I be doing now? I have been in a bit of a hole and advice will be much appreciated.
Yes, I was looking towards the financial analyst and investment banking fields. I figure my GPA is the reason I have yet to obtain an internship. Therefore I really don’t know where this leaves me.
But some guidance will be helpful.
Apply to smaller firms that are less likely to have firm GPA cutoffs. Learn anything you can on your own that is relevant to your industry. Read articles, learn software, join relevant clubs/competition teams if you can.
