Is my GPA going to hold me back?
I'm about to recruit for IB at a target (penn/chicago/duke) with a 3.7 or 3.8 depending on next semester. Is it over for top BBs and EBs?

Not really, no
Will not make a difference whatsoever. Focus on technicals and networking
Had a 3.8 at a non target and got an offer. One of the VP in my superday actually complimented me on my "success" - referencing my GPA lol. Focus on networking at technicals and you’ll be fine.
Is this rage bait?
