Why does Barclay ask for my GPA?

In Arrival + application when I chose my occupation as "Student," a Current GPA blank showed up. I just wonder why they ask me for my GPA. Any idea?

I presume their alogorithm predicts that higher GPA means more conscientious student, more responsible so better credit risk, much like auto insurance provides a discount for good students, and some professions such as engineers and nurses are generally viewed as safer, more steady, less willing to take risks.

^^^^ that or to see if you're still in academic good standing to remain as a student until your perspective graduation date. 

Keep both your credit and your body in top shape!
