If a new college/university grad has 4 years of REAL working experience accumulated while in college....

depends on what kind of experience. you can be a copy boy in microsoft but that still wouldn't mean anything.

not really

experience > GPA

that doesn't mean you should have utter crap marks, but neither does it mean u MUST have a 3.99

it all depends

if u have tons of of work experience, it is ok if ur gpa is not great
if u have very good gpa, it is ok if ur work experience is minimal
if u have bad gpa and no work experience, hello starbucks!!

if u are somewhere in the middle, where most people are, it depends on your personality in the interview, and maybe a bit of luck
