Who would you rather: the coder who schlepped by with a C average, or the guy that able to hit A's in his programming classes, and now considers your tasks a breeze?

Not to mention, without the right grades, you don't even get into the "right" institutions or have the scholarships to back you to begin with.

Not saying they're the end-all-be-all... but in technical majors, they matter more.

In journalism/literature/art, etc... I think your portfolio matters more.
