<p>Quick back story: I'm aware my GPA is on the "low-end" for a banking career, but I've really picked myself up since a dismal freshman year performance. I really believe I have the knowledge to excel in the field, all I need is the opportunity. So what do you guys think? My schools FA program is actually quite good (I know it's a little hard to believe for a mid/large state school compared to private targets). It's a selective 2 year program that accepts roughly 20-25 juniors. They aggressively send out resumes to big banks and the alumni who have graduated the program (and the b-school in general) to try and recruit our class. They also send it out to professor connections and pretty much anyone that pops in their mind (I have a list of nearly 300 companies that are receiving the "resume book"). Placements these past couple of years have seen students put into UBS, Goldman, Morgan Stanley, prop firms, BB, HF. </p>
<p>My main point is, how does my resume compare to other students nationwide and internationally? Also, would you recommend double majoring with econ?</p>
<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for the suggestions.</p>
