Is a 3.6 good enough
I’ll have a 3.6 flat by recruiting time sophmore year. I come from a target and am in the flag ship investment fund. Is 3.6 solid enough to land an IB internship especially at a boutique firm?

Can you get to 3.7 somehow?? Take some GPA boosters?
No a 3.6 is the highest I can get
Depends on the target for first rounds, but if you have interesting shit and network well, then yeah.
And once you get the R1, it’s all up to you. But, high GPA never hurts.
It’s Georgetown for the target and what would you consider interesting

What are you doing this summer
Least annoying Georgetown kid
You’re good buddy just network until you get it
No, unless you have a 4.0 by tomorrow, you should withdraw all applications.
I had a 3.6 but I was a STEM major so maybe it was diff for me. But I was able to get to a SD for a few firms I talked too. It comes down to how well u network and connect with the campus recruiting team since ur at a target
There was a kid from Georgetown who had between 3.6-3.7 that landed RBC and CVP and got interviews at every EB and the big 3. To this day he is one of the shittiest interns to ever exist in wall street's history. Cant wait to see the saga continue this summer. Only difference between him and you is he actually didnt try and you did. You need do better for the reputation of gtown please.
What’s he doing now
According to his blogs and his LinkedIn. He has left the industry (offer wasn't pulled) and he started a company with some people. The story of this kid keeps getting more and more unique lol.
I got EB with a 2.9 no nepo target school if that helps
You were probably a diversity hire ngl.
I’m not diversity lol I’m white. I just networked well and had a good story. no need to cope it can happen gpa is not the end of the world i was an engineering major and they didn’t care lol
Had a 2.8. Just left it off my resume.
How’d I do it? I bring more to the table than doing classes good. Ended up at a bank 19 year olds in here would kill for.
