The reasons for some of these behaviours:

3) Imagine you have 10,000 more or less identical CVs, how do you propose to filter them in a cost efficient manner ? - GPA is a quick and dirty solution. Sure you might miss out on some good people, but that's always going to be the case with whichever criteria you use.

4) Sending an extra person for the day will cost a company around $1500. The handfull of students who aren't willing to hang around for a bit aren't worth that extra cost.
