Starting FT in Fall @ EB: Questions about PE Recruiting

Hi everyone,

I'm going to be starting at an EB this fall. I've been thinking about PE and have a few questions. I come from a target with a low GPA (3.6). I'm worried that this may hold me back for PE recruiting. I've read all over this board that a >3.7 is the gold standard for recruiting. What is it outside of my GPA that I can do to maximize my chances?

Thanks!
