Getting an interview with a low GPA
As the title says, I’m applying to the MBBs for Summer 27 internships in Toronto coming from a target school but have a superrr low gpa (like 3.2-3.3 on a 4.3 kind of low). That being said, I’ve done a little bit of networking, know a lot of the Campus recruiters from a consulting club i’m on, super involved at school (varsity athletics, clubs, etc) and also have two internships at a big bank (current is in corporate strategy)
I’m worried none of that will even matter if my gpa is what it is. Networking i’ve done isn’t enough to have my name be pulled from the pile.
Anyone had similar credentials and at the very least secured an interview? Any advice or stories would be SO appreciated! I’ve heard cover letter can go a long way but not sure if I buy that…
