That's good that Arizona does that. If special snowflake wants to go through with a crappy GPA even though they have been told that they will be released, well let them.

I think more schools should be open and upfront with the PNM's. I really think it could diminish a lot of the anguish that the PNM's go through later.

Thankfully the advice I have given to two PNM's whose GPA is a bit low for recruitment has been taken and they thanked me for it. None of us go around saying things to hurt a PNM but they should be told the truth.
