So before she started her Sr. year of HS she knew she had been accepted & would be attending Alabama this fall!
It is really (!) important that girls who were accepted at the end of the Jr. year follow up and submit a ending Sr. year transcript. The Sr. year grades are typically stronger than Fresh-Junior. In the absence of a updated Sr. transcript someone could have a strong GPA that is not the same one listed from Panhellenic. I have seen this happen to a number of girls I have written recs for in the past. They thought they had a 3.2-3.4 but the Panhellenic record from the time of admission was more like a 2.9 which lead to cuts early in rush.
