Not to be nosey but did you always have that awesome gpa? I say that because at our chapter, we cut a girl twice due to her poor gpa but her junior year- she had over a 3.0 and we gave her a bid. The only thing is "Jane" knew our grade policy and knew that was the reason she was getting cut. I wish your friend could give you more of an insight to XYZ's reasoning behind all this. If you had that gpa all along plus all those other great qualities ... you seem like a great asset to any organization
