if you have some other good points like internships, good amount of research/lab experiences, etc low GPA won't be a problem. but if you don't have any such things that "polish" your resume, it might be tough. you said next spring, so I assume you still have about a year. spend time in research and/or internship if you can, it'll make a big difference.
btw, fat beast: nice job harrasing nagarikreport, he deserved it.
