How detrimental is a low gpa at a semi-target for 2026 SA recruiting

I go to a semi target (like Stern, Ross, Mccombs) and fucked up pretty badly this sem and my gpa tanked to a 3.65. Im wondering if I’ll be one of the first people who get cut as I didn’t meet certain thresholds. Not talking about large BB, EBs, or any insane prestigious firm btw.
