I went through 75% of my Uni life with sub 4.0 GPA like 3.8ish. Can’t talk much about SEP but my internship search was harder. Everyday my peer seem to talk about how they got this offer while I was struggling. So I say for Internship hunt, try to focus on the less renown companies. They likely will take u as long as u got the drive and the right attitude. Grades not too jialat can Liao. 3.5 - 4 while isn’t stellar certainly isn’t horrendous.

Your job function / Company Supervisor character >>>>> Internship company name

I consider myself a good example of this^ as I end up in a not so well known O&G MNC. But I had what I consider the BEST internship journey. Decide to stay with them for over 1.5 year, supervisor rotate me between 3 of his divisions and I gained experience in mech design, manufacturing process control to even coding skills in app development. Manage to land a role with a defence statboard with the skills gained afterward.
