The "High GPA..." is a standard requirement for analyst roles @ hedge funds, I-banks, P.E & V.C. shops, etc. It is highly unlikely that Thiel is involved in the recruitment process of analysts (these are either entry-level or 1 step up from entry-level positions.)
That being said, if Thiel is serious about criticism of the current state of higher education he should create some type of apprenticeship program at his hedge fund.
One more point, it is a bit disingenuous to compare entrepreneurs to analysts. However, if Thiel is serious he can create new paths of employment in finance that would rival the current recruitment/selection methods.
