No need for devil's advocate.

Having a 3.3 on a 4.0 scale is "with honors" and not just based on that school's discretion. Honors encompasses scholarship and academics, leadership, and other things. I would never scoff at a high school student having a minimum 3.09 as though that is not a great thing and a big deal. It may not be awesome for NPC recruitment at some schools but "with honors" is not based on NPC recruitment standards.
