All a GPA indicates is the average grades that person got. But that is not the same thing as ability, skills, motivation, passion, etc. Most classes aren't really that similar to the actual work in the industry either, so it's not even a good indicator of probability of work success. If this is for a hiring type decision, I think what projects a person has done is more important than their GPA.
