You should be fine. If you get the offer after the SA and accept, there is nothing to worry about as they won't care about grades and only want to see the diploma. If might hurt you a little if you want to switch banks/look for another FT offer, but the work experience should make up for the below 3.5 GPA.
I'm in the same position, but I am doubled major. My Economics GPA is 3.8 and Accounting GPA is 2.5. These Accounting classes are brutal. I just post my Economics GPA instead on my cumulative GPA on my resume. I plan on staying at the the same BB for awhile, so I really don't care if my GPA hits around a 3.0
Drive your car into a ditch - a deep ditch (bail first). Give yourself a nice punch in the eye / few scrapes on the arm. You blew your grades b/c you got in a horrible wreck right before finals.... b/c you were in a horrible car wreck....
Only kidding...
I'm in similar position I have just shy of 3.7 and did less than stellar this semester, but not horrible. The only thing GPA matters for at this point is potentially switching banks SA to FT, or MBA down the road. Even then I don't think it's a game changer.
Thanks for the replies everyone. So the general consensus is that I should be ok? I just feel like absolute shit after this semester and the only thing really keeping me going is my SA gig
You are in the door, this is the only thing that matters. Make sure to network and get the offer.
Work like mad to get it above 3.5 for buyside recruiting and bschool admissions. Regarding your SA offer, nothing to worry about. It's in the bag.
