Importance of GPA in Interviews?

I’m an a1 at a mm. I came from a good school but had a low gpa 3.4, and also did not study finance (I majored in physics). I’m thinking of either lateraling or interviewing for some pe groups over the next year but unsure if gpa matters for pe or laterals.
 

Do questions about college major or gpa come up or does it not matter?
