GPA

Currently an undergrad at an LAC (think Bowdin, Middlebury, W&L). Not a full on target but BB and some EB recruit a good amount of kids here. I am a first year and I have a 3.8 GPA. Is this too low coming from a semi-target? How much does GPA matter in recruiting? I am in good clubs + already starting to study technicals & networking a little. Will this GPA hurt my chances or am I just a tweaker.
