Low GPA at Target

Hey Monkeys,

Any tips on how to approach recruiting with a low GPA from a target? I have around a 3.3.

I think I can get it up to a 3.4 or 3.5. by the end of the semester, and hopefully 3.6 - 3.8 by the time I graduate, but obviously recruiting is occurring right now (SA 21).

How do I win interviews against my peers with higher GPAs, and if it's brought up as an issue in an interview or networking call, how do I respond? I've been networking around and prepping technicals, and I have a strong but not outstanding resume otherwise.

Appreciate any advice.
