IB and undergrad GPA Question?

I know that IB specifically look at GPA to weed out candidates but I was wondering if they focus on overall cGPA or specifically look at the GPA in actual prevalent finance courses. My overall cGPA out of undergrad is around a 3.1. However, my GPA in the finance-related courses is significantly higher (average of about 3.8 for all the finance courses I have taken) than in other non-finance courses, I had to take for my program. Would recruiters take this into account or is it solely based on cGPA?
