I mean you can apply anywhere but you should really focus on networking. I had a GPA only a little higher than yours at a non-target and was able to network my way into interviews. That should be your play now. GPA will only play a major role when you actually apply as a method of screening candidates, so if you find a back way in through an employee, you may have a better chance at getting around that hurdle.
