It's a good school for Georgia, no doubt, but its grading is probably about typical for the Atlanta suburban area. I don't think these kids will necessarily flunk out of college or anything, but I have no reason to believe they would have been 4.0 scholars at a different school.

Since I think these girls are going out of state (good luck getting in to UGA with a 3.0 out of high school these days), I doubt there will be a ton of people who really know anything about the schools.

These are kind of average students from a good public school.

In the olden days, there was still a place for you in Greek life with these kind of academic credentials, but I don't know what GPAs really look like these days in new member classes.

I would say that about 90% of the PNMs I know of have GPAs above 3.25, with most being higher than 3.5.

Are the PNMs I'm seeing typical?

ETA: the majority of girls that I end up writing recs for are going to SEC schools plus Georgia Tech. So I know that the PNMs aren't typical for everyplace. I just wonder if these GPAs are typical for these schools. These lower and hovering around 3.0 PNMs stick out in my pool. Will they stick out on campus?
