3.9. No one gave a fck abt ur major unless it was some random shit like art history. Majority of the ppl majored in finance. A few in STEM. Never met someone with random majors but im sure they are around. Double major means nothing.

3.8, majoring in biochem and working at an EB in a biotech group. Unless you're aiming for a specific coverage group like I was, I'd say it's not going to make a huge difference for recruiting. Also, pro tip, don't put 3.82 on resume... 3.8 will do just fine. EBs generally care more about your GPA, but still I'm pretty sure it's just to get you through the screen.
