What are my chances of getting into a prestigious company?

My GPA is 3.58 / 4.00 4-year Univ tier 1.
Had an internship in an investment bank last summer.

I got many interviews yet it seemed like I couldn't land any job. My classmates who also had internships somewhere with higher GPAs (3.7 above) took the jobs.

I thought 3.58 was pretty good. Now I'm beginning to think that it's just average. I kinda regret it that I didn't push myself in the beginning.

Can anyone advise me in landing a job?

major: Finance
College of Business UIUC
companies: investment banks, accounting firms, asset management firms, hedge funds, private equities, consulting firms

Maybe you need to focus on positioning properly.

You tell us the problem and a long story but we still don't know

1) Your major
2) Your uni
3) What kind of companies you interviewed in

1st - revamp your resume - try diff layouts
2nd- practice your interviewing skills with friends and family
3rd - obtain some reference letters from professors

GOOD LUCK!
