As long as she stays focused on her studies she should be able to improve the GPA.

REALLY? I know that at Penn State if I choose to take a summer course at another school-the credits transfer but, the grades don't. For instance, If I decided to go to Bloomsburg University for summer classes because it is near my hometown and I get an "A" in the class-that's great, however, I will only get the 3.0 credits for the course of study. The "A" I received at Bloomsburg, Temple, Drexel, Community College, etc. will have no bearing on my GPA at Penn State. In fact-you have to watch yourself with the credits even counting if they don't fulfill the requirement at PSU. I had to take Stats 200 while at Penn State. I considered taking it at a Community College but, later was told by an Academic Advisor since Penn State's Stat. 200 class was a 4-credit class and most schools only have 3-credit Stats classes, I would essentially be wasting my money. If she's got LESS THAN a 2.0 maybe she should check into...I don't know....S-T-U-D-Y-I-N-G!
I'm glad she wants to get involved but, honestly-even if she did bring it up to a 2.5 (let's really be honest ladies of the NPC) because of her poor track record GPA-wise and the fact she is not exactly going to be a Freshman or a Sophmore but, a Junior.....her fate is pretty grim in the NPC world....If your minimum is a 2.5 you're not going to look for members (generally) who have JUST THAT or a little bit above.....Yeah-I'm not trying to be "Debby Downer" but, I'm being honest and realistic...
