That's life.
Just to add on.

Most of the time hiring managers already know who they want to hire just by looking at the resume. They just need to confirm whether he/she is a nice person or someone who is troublesome to work with through the interview. Of course, a handsome/pretty face helps a lot too. First impressions count and no one ever said that looks do not matter.

In fact sometimes the ones with lousier grades are called for interview because HR has already arranged an interview with them.
