There are many reasons a student might not be able to take AP or weighted classes that they would need to be in that elite category. For example, she might be artistic or musical and have all As but but many AP courses, so she would have a 4.0 but not a 5.0 or 6.0.
I think this Blinn designation might be being blown up more than it should be. These girls will still have good GPAs and might have more leadership or community service opportunities than the UT admits.

Oh, I was actually thinking of retention as a bigger issue than grade risks. In any case, I hope the chapters have some aggregate data they can look at. If neither of those things are an issue, the BT women would be well-served by the university showing some numbers to prove it.
