Say I major in Financial Engineering and triple minor Accounting, Psychology, and Nuclear Physics, but I get a 3.6GPA (maybe even a 3.5GPA). Will I have a sharper shot in a BB than a Finance major/Accounting minor standard 3.8GPA? What if they have a 3.9GPA?

GPA tends to trump all. No one cares about all of your minors.
P.S. I hope the psych minor is only for meeting girls because otherwise it's useless.
Really weird combination
Guys don't worry, those aren't my majors, GPAs, or anything like that, I was just curious if unusual combinations beat out the standard.
One more twist, what if the latter had seven extracurriculars and the former has two? Does the GPA still hold the strong hand in the pick?
Don't bother trying to be different. In finance you'll be fine as long as you do well the things other successful people have done before you.
