Point 72 Referrals

Sophomore Lower Public Target School (Berkeley, UVA, UT, UMICH, UNC). 3.7 GPA
Did a lot of networking and a ton of pitch comps last year, but couldn't find any info on the recruiting process.

I managed to lock in 2 point referrals from club alumni, and I was wondering if anyone had information on how referrals worked for Point's undergrad recruitment process.

Do referrals carry massive amounts of sway if they are from analysts? Would this carry you to an interview round?

My GPA is on the lower end - would I meet the cutoff? 

Additionally - I couldn't find much info on the point SAT requirements.
