And GPA isn't necessarily a direct reflection of knowledge or skill level, especially outside of STEM classes.
Think of a history class, where a big part of your grade might be a research paper only tangentially tied to the core of the course. Putting a bit less effort into it--the average GPA gap seems like the difference between an A and a B+ at many schools--doesn't necessarily mean you're less informed about that area of history.
And knowing how much effort is worthwhile to put into a task given deadlines, other pressures, etc. is an extremely valuable skill in business and life in general.
