I guess it depends on the academic strength of the particular university, but at a school that is hard to get into (let's say under 35% admitted) cutting based on GPA for freshmen in the fall seems to be splitting hairs. At a prestigious school, how low of a HS GPA can a PNM have and still have gotten in? The real sorter is once you have those first semester grades, because everyone may have done well in high school, but college is a different ball game. Can you be sure that a PNM with a 3.94 in HS is going to do better in college than a PNM with a 3.78 in HS? I don't think so.
