Unfair discrimination towards undergrads

Why do MBA programs and law schools have Grade Non-Disclosure but undergrads don't? I'd like to be able to barely pass my classes, focus on partying, networking and extracurriculars and be able to land a PE MF or PJT/CVP/EVR/LAZ RX/M&A seat. I'm currently a sophomore at a tier 1 global undergrad (WYD/Oxbridge/LSE) and man, the classes are HARD. I'm barely maintaining a 3.13 GPA. 
 

Why don't undergrad programs have Grade Non-Disclosure? They would absolute BLOW the competing schools out of the water in terms of job placement as 100% of their kiddos will make the 3.5 GPA hurdle for most "high finance" jobs. 
 

I honestly don't get it. They let some washed up MBA loser who was in FP&A or Risk Management slack off and land a guaranteed IBD/PE seat but we undergrads have literally bleed to get an acceptable GPA to get the exact same jobs as some diversity douchebag at a M7 who's background was performing in musicals or saving turtles in Africa? 
 

What in the actual hell?

Yeah grad students really get it easy. On the topic of class difficulty, I transferred from a non target to a target school and classes are so much harder. It is crazy the difference in difficulty. There really is no excuse not to have almost a 4.0 at non targets. Non target classes were so easy in comparison. Congrats on getting into where you are, but I also guarantee if you went down some school ranks, your GPA would be much higher.
