Person A: Always top of class, high honor roll and receipient of awards thoughout grade school. Graduated valedictorian in high school and Magna Cum Laude in college. Status- temp

Person B: In the words of employer, "grade point was nearly nonexistent" and struggled with school. Barely accepted into college and took years to be accepted into program of study. Status- successful employee who has in only one year's time received high acclamation and prestige in job setting

Moral of story: GPA is of exaggerated relevance
