Just wondering,
Thanks!

On paper, they are looking for a 2.5...that is to say, they won't even begin to look at you if you don't have that GPA in most cases. But they are generally looking for something higher, something that shows you are very dedicated to your academics and will be able to handle splitting your time between class and a GLO. This is the case for NPC orgs at least, and I think the reasoning is similar for NPHC, but I defer to the NPHCers for clarification on this one.
As others have said, you will never know what happens until you try. A 2.9 coming from an engineer at my school wouldn't bat an eyelash (like others have said, it's not about engineering being a "hard" major, A's are just not typically given in that college) but if your school is known for grade inflation or you're against other women with 4.0's, you could be worse off. Good luck!
