Congrats? GPA doesn't mean shit. You not getting an interview was likely due to a shit resume and not your GPA. How you interview, demonstrating the ability to communicate well, demonstrating drive and the ability to juggle tasks ALL mean much more. Just about everything else on your resume is more important. As I said previously, until you have done the interviewing and had people work for you... you really don't know what is important and what good managers actually look at (I didn't until I got there either).
