Hm.. I think it's still hard to tell even under those circumstances. Having a good enough resume to get the interview in the first place is the hurdle. And it's unlikely that 2 people who are EXACTLY the same in every way except for grades will land interviews for the same job. One is going to be more likable, have better interviewing skills, know somebody, have a more relevant skill set, or just seem like a better fit for the position. Grades may never even be considered by whomever makes the final hiring decision. That said, of course good grades make a better resume.
