GPA requirement for tier 3 investment banks (SocGen, BNP)?

Hello, 

So I'm an incoming sophomore at a target school in HK. While I do have a few internships, my concern is that my GPA is on the lower end (around a 3.2/4.3). 

Do you guys think this will be an issue next year when I'll be applying for investment banking positions? Or can I compensate for my GPA with more relevant work experience? Thanks.
