How much does GPA matter for 2+2?

I am interested in applying to HSW 2+2 programs but am hesitant to take the time to actually study for the GRE cause I have a 3.3 from a semi target studying a business related degree. 

Profile: 

URM - Hispanic, interned at one of the smaller Tiger cubs (AUM in 5-12 billion range) and currently at a mid-size PE firm  (10-15AUM). Involved on campus with a nonprofit, worked with a small startup in leadership role and doing research with a professor. 

Was wanting to give it a shot but would honestly rather just enjoy my senior year if a 3.3 is an immediate toss for HSW.

Hey Intern in HF - EquityHedge, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your topic! Bummer...could just be unlucky but one of these topics will help shed some light:

More suggestions...

If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
