Is there any chance I can get a summer internship?

<p>I'm a civil engineering major at Auburn and I'm struggling with my coursework. I'm about to go into my second semester sophomore year and I currently have a 2.48 GPA (mostly getting B's and C's in my classes). I had a 2.26 GPA after my freshman year so I've already bumped it up after the first semester of my sophomore year.</p>

<p>It's probably not likely but is there anything I can do to get myself a summer internship or a co-op position with these kinds of grades? I know doing better GPA-wise is a must this semester but my final grades probably won't be in by the time I have to apply/send in my resume and I'm guessing most people probably want a higher GPA.</p>

<p>Just found out that while my cumulative GPA is 2.48, my GPA in engineering classes (my major GPA) is a 3.11. Will this help at all?</p>

<p>Maybe you should leave GPA off your resume, and if someone asks tell them that your engineering GPA is 3.11, which may be acceptable at some companies.</p>

<p>Just put your major gpa on your resume. A 3.11 gpa is fine for most companies.</p>

<p>well let’s say that an internship requires a minimum GPA of 2.5. If I submit my transcript (and they want it) which has both my major GPA (3.11) and my overall GPA (2.48) would they still consider me for the position?</p>

<p>It can’t hurt to apply anyway.</p>
