Can low gpa get me into IB or consulting industry?

Hi, I am an international student current study in the states at a target school for both industries. Unfortunately, due to family reasons, I didn't do well in school last semester, which caused my GPA has dropped to 3.2, and I only have one more semester left to go—just seeking some advice on what I should do. And how to prepare for the incoming hiring season.
