GPA Dropoff Post SA Recruiting

Hi All,

I was curious what everyone's thoughts were on a GPA drop off post SA-recruiting (pre group placement). I secured a generalist offer from a BB this semester with a high 3.9 GPA at the time of recruiting.

As the semester comes to an end, it's likely that might fall into the 3.8 range. What impact (if at all) would this have on group placement and future buyside on-cycle recruiting (assuming it stays in 3.8 range)? Currently at a target in the business school.
