What to do

I was feeling good about myself today after going to the career center - the counselor said my cover letter was "excellent" and that my resume looked fine as well.

Then I spoke with an acquaintance of mine just now who has experience as a consultant, and although he does tend to take quite a cynical view on things, he said there's a lot that can be done and as the resume currently stands, it'd be very hard for me to get a job with a consulting firm. It's all because of my stupid Cornell gpa.... It doesn't adequately represent me and my abilities, but I'll NEVER have the opportunity to demonstrate that because no one looks past it.

Now what the heck am I going to do...
