ML, JP, MS Global Wealth type summer internship Minimum GPA

<p>Hello all! I just registered but I have been following the forums for quite some time now.</p>

<p>I am a junior at BU, with a 3.08 GPA, but at the end of this semester should jump to 3.2. </p>

<p>Now, I have looked into many different fields such as IB, GWM, and what not and I must say that GWM interests me the most. I am familiar with the cold-calling involved but my brother is currently with ML and is doing great and I feel that with the network I have I can succeed in this field.</p>

<p>Now, I am starting an internship next week in ML's GWM division, and I am currently looking into various summer internship positions. JP, Morgan, and ML all offer GWM type analyst positions in the summer time (not i-banking) and JP and Morgan do not list a minimum GPA although it probably is around 3.2-3.3, ML does (3.3 GPA). Now, I currently have experience at a global asset management firm and now this ML experience I am currently going to undergo in their GWM office, is there anyway with my GPA I can still interview and have a shot with any of these firms GWM type internships for the summer? I am at a 3.08 right now and hope to be at 3.2 by the end of the semester (but then again, nothing is guaranteed).</p>

<p>What do you guys think? Thanks for all the help!!</p>

<p>Sure, I don’t think they care much about GPA if you have a network.</p>

<p>i’m a junior at BU too haha… going through CORE and working at ML? that’s rough!</p>

<p>i was actually talking to FCC/UPO advisors about the GPA issue and most of them said experience / networking trumps everything in the business field. GPA is used more as a cut-off point more than anything when they have thousands of resumes to look through. congrats on the ML GWM internship, i had a few friends applying to that =p</p>
