Is a 3.8 really too low for top schools?

I obviously know that the further away you move from a 4.0 the lower your chances will be, but are kids with a 3.8/3.85 really at that much of a disadvantage at top 20 schools. My question is: If you have amazing EC’s, outstanding essays, killer letters of rec, 99th percentile test scores, is a 3.8 really going to hold you back? Do top 20 schools care that much about a few B’s if you are doing amazing things outside of the classroom?
