Final Exam Regrade

My grade for a class was 79.03%, meaning i needed 1 extra point on the 53 point final to get a 79.6 which was an A- in the class. I requested a review of my final to try to see if i can get any extra points.

I looked at my exam and noticed a lot of points that were wrongfully taken off in the grading. I told the prof about it, she was very condecening and acted very annoyed at me for asking for a regrade. She ended up admitting that there were 4 extra marks that she couldve given. She said she was going to look over my final again, potentially give the 4 marks, but also might take off marks for other questions.

Two weeks later, she emailed me saying she awarded the 4 extra points, but also took off 3.5 points on other questions, exactly the amount that wouldve kept me on a B+ (79.32). Not to mention that her reasonings for the deductions were complete BS and so so unnecessary. No one else’s exam would’ve been graded like that.

I dont really have hope in requesting an official regrade by the department becuase ive heard they dont usually work out. Is there anything I can do now?

Third year with no internships

I just finished my third year in electrical engineering and have never had any internships. I was going through stuff outside of school and barely applied for any internships for the summer. Now that it's hitting me, I've been applying and have applied to around 50 places so far for the rest of the summer and this fall, but still no responses.

I feel super disappointed in myself and feel like my CV is just not strong enough and im eventually not going to be accepted. I'm also unsure about what career websites i should focus on applying at, or if I should just be sending emails to firms personally. I also dont know what sort of firms i should be applying to.
