How rough is a 3.4 GPA for consulting recruiting?

Basically title, I'm a rising senior who is starting to prepare for full-time recruiting for consulting. I have some decent work experience (interned at VC for over a year, currently interning at a F500) but really messed up my GPA in college due to some unforeseen circumstances. That being said, does my GPA kill my chances of being able to get past the initial screening stage? Thanks!
