I’m a sophomore and I did really bad this semester like dropped my gpa from 3.6-3.3. How important is GPA when recruiting for CRE (brokerage or development)? I know IB and ER are more holistic but I feel like it’s just as important if I’m trying to apply at good firms in CRE.

I was gonna troll you but I remember the stress you’re feeling. Truthfully in my experience it’s not very important but I’d still work on recovering your grades.
A 3.3 should still get you past most HR screens for internships, but since RE isnt on a specific hiring cycle like other fields, you may have a little time to improve before anyone sees your resume
You're good, just get your shit together. Networking well will resolve this issue. 3.5 GPA and a solid network will get you most anywhere you want to go. Make sure and lean into your "major GPA".
You are a sophomore…. Tons of time to raise your GPA, so really not worth the freak out!
That said, lots of places will not care, others will be fine with anything above 3.0… some will screen at 3.7/3.8, but those are the minority in all reality.
MF REPE (BX type of shops) might be out of the question at this point, but you can definitely still land a job. Try to get above a 3.5 ASAP though
You’re fine. Obviously try to get it up but not the end of the world. I had lower than that and got an offer from a very strong regional development firm in a major market. Keep in mind the regional and local firms may care less about this than the TCRs of the world, at least to an extent.
I’m pretty sure my GPA was sub 3.0. I’m now at one of the big national developers. Granted I’m a couple years behind peers my age because I had to grind my way there but we are all still sitting at the same table doing the same work.
