I agree with hinmanCEO.

Big picture: ->"Usually"<- students with higher GPAs and students who attend top schools get better jobs and better salaries.

That's the whole point of gpas and school rankings...to give something to measure potential cantidates for employment. I think that ECs and work experiences are another way to prove that you are an able employee. I guess i586 did a good job on that. (Rare case)

Therefore I think that for graudate school, gpa is usually more important than the ECs.
