GPA Fears- Am I Cooked?

I have a 3.61 GPA in my second trimester at an incredibly rigorous non-target (very prestigious, not recognized outside of academia generally). We GPA deflate here, and I think that I realistically will go into recruiting with a GPA within a tenth of a point of my current. I am an athlete, involved in multiple IB-related clubs (founding a student-managed hedge fund at the moment), solid (but not very relevant) internship experience, and do as much networking as I have time for. Am I cooked or is there still hope for me?
