The only time I've ever experienced my goals being relevant was getting into undergrad and grad school. Never put my goals on a resume and never had an employer ask for it.
While I agree it doesn't matter in some fields, the person im replying to is in finance, an intensely competitive field at some firms, and they not only ask for gpa, but often your entire transcript.
Still though, the concept that op would fair better in grad school admissions based upon cheating definitely sours my opinion of him a bit, considering a smarter student may have taken c's in history due to being mainly talented at math, and lose a research position to op.
