I go to a target/semi-target depending on who you ask and I made it to a superday through the diversity category. I did well in my first round and connected very well with the interviewer. My school is probably the top target for this firm but I wonder if all the MDs are going to pass me up because of my GPA. If anyone has any experience with this your insight would be appreciated.

GPA is mainly to get you to the interview room. From there it's on how you interview although GPA might be a factor between two close candidates after the interview. Either way, nothing you can do about it now, just focus on prep
had a sd at a top JEF group w a 3.4 from non target, they really dont care anymore about ur school, grades, major at this stage. Focus on knowing ur techs, resume stuff and story.
Congrats! How did it go?
But you didn’t get the offer so maybe they do care?
i mean u right but at the same time if i got a r1, then sd then i doubt it became a factor. Personally, i think ik what i fucked up on during the sd but my comment was j food for thought
.
you are a diversity, silly things like your experience, GPA, skill set, talent etc do not matter
It's something that can come up if there are 2 incredibly strong candidates and they're splitting hairs, but generally GPA matters a lot less once you've made it to the first interview. Do your best, sounds like the first interviewer rated you very strongly which always helps. Be stone cold on your technicals too
I mean could it hurt you? Possibly. Nevertheless, I don't think it would be much of a factor all things considered in a superday. It will be a relatively small factor. Also this is an MM IB firm and a diversity round on top of that you go to their top target school so you have a lot of other things going in your favor. If you interview well and they like you then there's a very solid chance you'll get the offer
