How much does GPA matter

I go to a semi target that actually places pretty well in IB. I am a freshman, and for my first semester I fucked up massively and got a 2.8 GPA. This second semester I’m actually putting effort into my classes and I should finish w around a 3.7 or 3.8 (hopefully). Am I fucked for IB recruiting because my GPA is going to be held down for a while?
