In Reply To: TT- don't worry too much..these firms could not pick you for an interview for any old reason..they need to hire only a couple of people perhaps so just look to some of the other firms...regional, national or whatever..with your grades you should have no problem
Message: I was wondering did they ask you the question why from biology to accounting? Do not depend on campus career services for the internship process. you will compared to competition whos younger. You have to tell the firm how much passion u have that u came back for accoutning. Try to work for some accounting department at you college or try Corporate Relations at ur college. So you have something to talk about and you can relate your campus expereince with the firm. I had the same expereince as you but my grades were low and expereince was there. I got denied because my grades were low but you should have no probs. hope this helps. Good Luck
