Am I screwed, I am from a non target school and I believe that my GPA has fell from a 4.0 to a 3.8, is that something that people will be looking at, and be concerned. Also for PE recruiting later on is that something I should be freaking out on! Love to get some thoughts!

PE recruiting generally is fine with 3.7+, some places may prefer 3.8+ but you're chilling. I think the fact you went to a non-target would be more of a blip than your GPA for PE recruiting based on what I hear.
