General GPA Requirements for IB??

I keep hearing people need to have a 3.3 or 3.5 but when I spoke with someone from an EB he mentioned that most kids they take are near the top of their class having usually 3.8-4.0 gpa aside from a few exceptions

Is this how most places filter resumes? I only have a 3.5 gpa

I just finished recruiting last semester. I would personally say a 3.7 and above is 100% fine. A 3.5 or a 3.6 is definitely doable but might raise some questions during recruiting. That is my general understanding, but I could be off. if anyone has another point of view feel free to add to this. 

 

Voluptatum provident et quas illum in corrupti tempore. Doloremque et molestiae dolor accusamus doloremque. Quasi et enim vero dolor eaque omnis. Quasi id voluptatem qui reiciendis dolorem quibusdam.

Temporibus eum omnis dolor et repellat beatae. Repellat corporis accusamus expedita non cupiditate voluptatem. Corporis ut expedita neque. Suscipit minus dolorem aut dolor. Rerum rerum consequatur qui voluptatem illo fugit esse. Autem libero odit ut. Ut ab distinctio fugit aperiam.
