Mediocre GPA from a target school

I'm currently attending Stanford, and I'm just wondering if a 3.58 GPA is enough to get an interview and possibly get the spot at some top IB firms in NYC such as Goldman Sachs, JPM, and Morgan Stanley.

What do you all think?

You should be able to get some OCR spots assuming you have good EC's as well. Get networking.

As a student from HYPS, you'll be fine with anything above a 3.0. Depending on other factors, you might even be able to get offers with something in the 2 range. I came across this linkedin profile of someone from HYPS with a 2.97 and they were interning in IBD at JPM.
