Yes, for engineering, I get asked flat out what my GPA is every time. In a few instances, I was asked specifically what I got in individual classes, which coarses I my lowest marks and what those marks were. (One guy went through my transcript and went "what happened here? and here? and here?" for every single mark that wasn't an A- and A. After roasting me and making me feel like crap for the hour-long interview, he offered me the job; I wanted to say no, but I was too scared to, so I said I wanted to think about him and let him know - when I got home, I emailed him and turned it down.
