How far are you from the 3.5? If you're very close, I would think you have a good chance of getting in. I would apply either way, and write a thorough cover letter explaining your ambition to work for the company even though your GPA is below the requirement. Worst they can say is no. Also, if you don't hear back within ~2 weeks, I would send a polite email to follow up and thank them for the opportunity. It also depends on the scale of the internship. If it's something that everyone wants then realistically, it may be harder. For my former program, an internship at the CDC in Atlanta was on a national scale so it was very competitive. I didn't get in.Originally Posted by HTXMade
@Wj4- I have a few questions for you. Im currently in school for business Admin Financing. I dont have the best gpa def not the worst. How can I land a intern that ask for minimum gpa of 3.5?
What are good jobs to gain experience?

Practice giving oral presentations. I know I really disliked public speaking as an undergrad, and I was horrible at them. I would more or less read word for word. I would not make eye contact, and say "um" a lot. Communication is the foundation for all businesses and you will work with others. Some interviews may ask you to do a presentation to their group about yourself and why they should hire you. I had to do one for an internship I didn't get. A panel of 4-5 personnel came in from the management team and I had to present on myself and the skills I had. Looking back at it, boy did I suckIt's a lot better to mess up and learn in a classroom setting than in front of your superior.
good to hear, I worked on this skill this last year hopefully it pays off. Great thread btw
