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. 

 

Ab voluptatem in fugiat consectetur delectus. Eum possimus aperiam quia tempora dolorum enim quis. Quaerat et magni itaque aut inventore. Repellat error unde fuga sit beatae nihil delectus. Minima aperiam ut eum at pariatur suscipit laboriosam. Maiores enim tempore voluptas ipsam molestiae. Necessitatibus vitae sint eaque vel.

Facilis sit repellat pariatur at. Et libero sint molestiae sint cupiditate dolorem.

Assumenda in aut quisquam velit nihil et. Voluptatem praesentium rem doloribus facere provident earum. Sunt soluta perspiciatis sapiente qui aliquid ea.

Aperiam magni et dolores quas inventore id. Sed iure sed quia. Cupiditate molestias blanditiis quod repudiandae velit. Eligendi a totam quo ut et doloremque fuga. Architecto architecto officiis et molestiae neque laborum.
