Clara Mom, I don't want to provide any details that would potentially identify the PNM or the active who confided in her and make a bad situation worse. I continue to feel it shouldn't have gone down this way, and the comments here seem to confirm that.
The next days are going to be rough for her as she watches her roommates and dorm floor friends get their bids. I hope she'll look into informal, but I don't know how many houses really do it, and/or if her heart will be in it.
The main thing is, if what happened was actually accurate, it would be good to make it a LOT more clear for freshmen PNMs so they know exactly what GPA they are being considered on - their H.S. GPA (as this young lady assumed), or a summer transfer grade.
Good luck to all the young ladies at Bid Day today!!
