Wells Fargo SA background check

Hi, Would anyone be able to shed light on what the background check for the WF SA program looks like? For instance, how deep do they dig- I did an internship abroad, will they connect with my supervisor ? And how strict are they in terms of grades ? I'm a bit worried about my GPA dipping this fall due to uncertainty surrounding covid, online classes etc., I'm sure a bunch of others are fretting over the same lol. I know there's a bunch of threads on this, but I'm just looking for some clarity. Appreciate any help!
