i'm a rising sophomore at hypsw pursuing a stem degree; made some poor decisions freshman year and have a (rounded up) 3.7 currently, will still be a 3.7 with all As by the end of December lol. Is this a red flag for EBs or GS TMT/MS, assuming I have my technicals down and network decently well?

Ur chilling. Dw, I know some people in similar situations and it turned out fine for them
Had a low 3.7 from a semi-target and landed EB. Had interviews other top WSO-glazed shops and was never once asked about GPA. You’re chilling.
thanks! do you mind me asking which EB?
Tier 2 (Not CVP/EVR)
If you’re from a high target, it should be negligible with networking
