[quote=Anonymous]OK, I'm going to make the counterargument, specifically with respect to grades. When I'm looking at a resume and I see great grades (which does not mean 4.0, I mean a strong 3.7 and up) coupled with other activities (could be job, sport, significant club commitment) - this tells me that this a person who has figured out how to juggle multiple responsibilities and manage their time; if at least some classes are more writing-heavy, has demonstrated some proficiency in writing skills; and this person has the persistence and drive to succeed even where the class is not interesting or doesn't catch their fancy. These are all very valuable qualities in an employee. [/quote]
