Getting Full time interviews with BB Internship, low GPA

I'm a junior with a 3.4 GPA at a target LAC in math. I have good ec's(Varsity Athlete--potential captain). I'll have an internship this summer at a lower tier BB and some entrepreneurial experience. I was wondering if this gpa will hurt my chances for full time recruiting as I struggled to get SA interviews for this summer. Obviously my resume will be significantly stronger with a BB internship but will I be able to get interviews for MBB consulting jobs after this summer with a 3.4 GPA?

You'll be fine. They're forgiving with kids from targets with ECs or hooks, and I can't speak about MBB but BBs LOVE former athletes. You will be golden. ECs + target + BB name brand = profit.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
