GPA drop after SA offer

Have secured an offer a few months back. I was wondering how much of a difference a 3.7 to a 3.93 makes in later recruiting - particularly on the buyside. Currently, have the latter but some of my more essay-based classes have a tendency of awarding A- grades, so my GPA may dip. though I will obviously do my best to keep at a 3.9+ Is there a material advantage to having a 3.9 vs 3.7 in an interview process or is a 3.7+ enough to check the tick box and move on to other factors?
