Chapters don't have the capacity to individually review each PNM's transcripts and test scores. Nor should that private student information be available for any and all to see ( http://www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/f...rpa/index.html).

IIRC, the chapters were given a binder full of transcripts for each PNM a decade ago-at least for one or two recruitments I assisted with. It was an enormous amount of information to go through, and too much personal information (I'm pretty sure SSN and other information was blacked out, but still...) was made available. It was overwhelming, and in the grand scheme of things where I advised, didn't make much of a difference. I'm glad it's just GPAs now, even if they aren't always a true indication of academic ability.
