How much do banks care about transcripts for FT conversion?

Hey WSO fam - I realize this topic's been talked about already but there still seems to be some contention on it. I'm a junior with a SA stint lined up but sustained a pretty gnarly concussion this semester that heavily affected my health and studying and my grades are set to drop (3.78 to 3.68-3.70/low 3.7) and now I'm shitting bricks. When FT offers come around, would I be given a chance to explain myself (like would they ask)? Would they even care?What's the maximum GPA drop allowed? Also are they checking before onboarding or before extending offers?Just nervous because my grades have been shaky my first semesters + COVID pass/fail makes the rest looks shoddy so overall it doesn't look like I ever made improvements which is imo is hella sad lol - EDIT: should probably also add that I'm nervous about having to work extra hard next sem to make up for this even though my recovery is still a bit hairy
