Stress Test Interview?

Long story short, I had a meeting today with the president of a capital markets division at a company. He noticed my gpa was low compared to the competition (3.0) but didn't talk about anything else on my resume (leader of 2 business organizations, work part time 25-30 hrs/week, taking 6 classes, expanding internship program, past internships, etc). he never smiled once or seemed interested in anything i was saying.

I heard this guy is one of the nicest guys at this company and is very approachable and I got the complete opposite. I interview for this company early next month and was wondering if anyone thought this was a stress test to see how I handled the situation. Has anyone heard of a company doing this? (side note: i was able to meet with this guy due to another big contact)
