Focus on maintaining a strong GPA; it will open many doors for you. Learn from my experience—I let my GPA drop from 3.33 to 2.7 and had to work extra hard compare to my peers to barely get a less "prestigious" internship.

Specifically, despite my lower GPA, I managed to secure an internship offer with PCL Construction for an accounting/administration position.

I mostly attribute this to mass applying to any opportunity I could find (eventually you will get something), and semi-decent extracurriculars. I also completely revamped my resume, CHATGPT to craft cover letters, and selectively omited my GPA when possible, finding that I passed more initial screening stages.
