Big 4 Internships Grades

Adfxdeey · 2014-01-26 08:17:18

Hi, I'll get straight to the point. Im a 2nd year business student with a pass average for 1st year. Is there any point at all in applying for a summer internship realistically considering my awful average? Thanks.

There's no harm in applying but I wouldn't be too hopeful. I was in a similar position to you when I applied and I did get an interview but not a place.

Go for it. Lots of people scrape by in first or second year so poor grades are overlooked for internships.
