Did anyone notice that they specifically ask for a lower GPA?
Go for 2.8-3.1 GPA w/ lots of activities.
Avoid 4.0 with no other activities.
Now If they had just said go for activities, I would understand, but they actually asked for a lower GPA too.

Or they may be want people who aren't very bright because they might be willing to take more abuse from management?
This is purely anecdotal, but many 4.0 students I knew in college were not at all interested in "keeping their nose down and doing the work." They were 100% interested in having "4.0 GPA" on their resume which generally meant doing very well on tests, everything else be damned. So they were awful to have in a project groups and didn't participate in any activities because it didn't contribute to their GPA at all.
