In a 1962 ad (link below), Bell Telephone said a person's college
class rank was the most significant predictor of a person's
business success.  This outweighed the quality of college or
extra-curricular activities.

In own opinion, while class rank could be a factor, other
factors play a role, too.  There are plenty of people who
did great in college yet performed poorly in the workplace,
and vice-versa.  

Also, there are people who didn't complete a four year college
but still did well.
