GPA question

Preface: don’t shit on me for asking this, only reason I’m curious is because not many in my major from my school work in IB.

I’m a stats/math major at a target (low-tier ivy), what minimum GPA could I have a shot at an SA role with an EB/BB? I know it depends but, just curious of what you guys have seen with approximate cut offs.

As high as possible. Dependent on the bank you're shooting for (and your race/ethnicity tbh). People will always have a better GPA than you, so just make it better and focus on networking. 

 

I think generally, the cutoff is 3.5, and the last cutoff is 3.7. That's what I've gathered from reading all the GPA posts over the last year.
