How does GPA come into play?

I go to a nationally top 25 ranked private school & the competition is fierce lol

I don’t have a 4.0 gpa but I’m aware that many of my classmates do.

I’m very well rounded & I’m involved with national competitions etc…so I’m not that worried about selling myself
but

im really scared that my gpa is going to come into play
like im pretty confident that ill do well on the SAT, PSAT & ACT

but how much does my gpa matter? Is it true that colleges narrow down applicants based on their GPA?

What are some cut offs? I’m rreally worried… I really effed up freshman year because i really didn’t know how to manage my time (I got a 3.6 gpa…unweighted)
