Anyone else have any thoughts?

It's not worth it to have a high GPA generator if she's going to be so busy studying that she's never around. It's also not worth it if she gets a bid just for her GPA and not because the chapter truly likes her.
Although I also think it depends on if the programs in question are driven by GPA only, or if you have to have other assets (community involvement, campus involvement, an outgoing personality) to be admitted. Someone in the second kind of program probably knows what she's doing and how to manage time...someone whose life has revolved around grades and only grades maybe not so much. (Some of those straight A students are dumb as posts, organically speaking, and only make those grades through sheer force of will.)
