As a Wharton + Engineering student from UPenn, I thought it would be easy for me to get a summer internship. However, it seems like either my lack of working experience or low GPA is working against me.
I am back in China for summer right now, working as a summer analyst in CCB International, an investment company funded by China Construction Bank. It sounds not bad, but all the credits goes to my dad - he found it for me from his connection.
Besides that, I applied to Dell, IBM, Coca-cola for finance intern, EY for summer associate intern, UBS for a training program. However, I have received no respond till now.
Really worried about next summer. At that time, as a penultimate year student, I have to get a great summer inter and the return offer after that. Hmmm I may sound too competitive, but when it comes to competitiveness, I am sure I am the bottom 5% in Wharton.

Grammar mistakes again... Sigh...

Thank you so much for the advise, good luck wishes.... and pointing out that I'm "lazy". It's so true, although somewhat unpleasant. I should have studied harder, instead of drown myself in the arrogance of "the best business school in the world". I need a reflection before it's too late.

Actually you sound rather lazy. With low GPA and little work experience you should maybe concentrate more on 2nd tier companies. CCB should look good on your resume for next year. Good luck.
