I totally agree with this. I recently had a job interview at a great company (I have a friend who works there so I know all the details) and was interviewed by three engineers who loved me. I got an email from someone in HR saying the engineers thought I would be a great fit and they wanted to hire me as long as I had at least a 3.0 GPA. Turns out I was about 0.1 point short and that killed my chance to work there. GPA plays too big of a role in most HR departments.
