What level of technical knowledge in interviews would be expected of somebody with this type of experience?

I'm a rising junior economics major and computer science minor at a good target school aiming to get into BB IBD for next summer. I just finished up a summer internship at a MM investment bank primarily focused on M&A. I've taken one financial accounting class and will also take an intro to financial theory class this autumn for the econ major. I've heard that all else equal, a Wharton finance major will be grilled harder on technicals than, say, an english/liberal arts major. At what level of technical knowledge would I be expected to know?

 

Also, my GPA isn't that great (~3.2), though it comes from a school known for grade deflation. Thankfully, I've got some connections. I've heard that if you can network really well, then GPA doesn't matter as much. How true is that?
