Helpful!
I mean if you have more time, I would definitely try to raise your GPA to a 3.7 at a minimum to increase the odds.
You might as well apply and say you have a 3.8. And then grind to bring your GPA up before your internship starts next summer since most places don't ask for transcript until you start

No idea, but I wouldn't be surprised. When a bank gives you an offer it means they want you after interviewing a bunch of people. So if you manage bring your GPA up then they wont care

I have friends that have broken into top BB IB with below 3.2 GPA from non target. Anything is possible
