I think you guys dont even know how the HR processes work or what the standards are.

I am familiar with the admission and recruiting process of top schools and companies. You're almost right but some counter examples worth mentioning.
One: 5As with 70% percentile SAT, mediocre essays, uninspiring letters of recommendation describing a student who mugs everyday in the library and no CCAs, no way he is getting into any Ivy.
So it is not just 5As. This is a well known fact by those who spend time with the application process. If he had just 5As AND a national award in a science competition, maybe he creeps into the bottom of the Ivy's. For those aspiring Ivy leaguers out there, take note.
Two: A >4.8 CAP with major in Health Science and internship doing credit analyst at a small 10 employee first isn't getting called up by Goldman's
IBD. You probably know this. I'm emphasizing that there are tons of > 3.8 GPA not getting what they want.
