    GPA and Internship in Toronto

    Hi

    I just finished my 2nd year of study in University of Toronto and my GPA is 3.2. Will it be too low for me to find an internship next year? What can I do to improve my chance of being hired?

    I have no working experience before but have passed Exam FM and Exam P.

    thanks

    Even if the GPA is important, it is not the only factor that matters.
    I've heard of people with 4.2- 4.3 GPA beeing refused for internships, but of people with 2.8 getting it.
    It depends of you, how good you can impress the interviewer and your personnal background ( accomplishments, activities, hobbies, etc) .
    Companies are not only looking for geeks, they're looking for complete human beeings.
