GPA needed to go into IB from Stern?

I have been recently admitted into NYU Stern, and i want to pursue IB in NYC. I have also been admitted into UCLA but id be worried about my chances of being able to get an IB job in California alone and the pay discrepancies( bonus + salary) for working in Cali rather than NYC. I am a bit of a lay person and i know how competitive Stern is, so i am wondering what GPA do i have to maintain to be able to be recruited by BB in NYC?

Don´t say this in a banking interview: Which superhero would you be and why? I want to be like Robin Hood, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor - me.
