I had no idea that gpa was such an issue in Ole Miss recruitment. I know it is an issue with all chapters during rush, but so much there. Now I love Ole Miss, and don't mean this in any possible bad way but.....Ole Miss traditionally is a little easier to get into to begin with. Now, don't start fussing at me ok. My point is, at a university that is alittle easier on the gpa/sat scores for entrance, and putting such an emphasis on gpa for rush, does this seem odd?
I do have 4 pnm's going through next week that I wrote recs for, and I'm scared to death for them. They all attended a top ranked HS in their state, a liberal arts magnet, very competitive to get into. So I would guess their gpa would be higher at a "neighborhood" school, as they are called here.
2 of those pnm's have a gpa around the 2.3 area, one is a legacy to one of those 'it' chapters, still worries me. The other two have no greek affiliation, but gpas are above 3.5. I would hate for any of them to be cut completely out of rush, but my fear is that will happen. Its gonna be a long week next week!
