You might have answered your question here. If her grades weren't quite high enough for some groups' minimums, she might have not made the cut when the others had to go searching for reasons to shorten their list.

She had at least a 3.0 which is what all but one group lists in [I]Greek Chic[I] Maybe DG will work out for some of them.I]

3.0 is not much to ask for from an incoming freshman (high school gpa). There are lots of universities that wouldn't even admit someone with that high school gpa.

Nhfulmer, the tent talk I heard was most first round cuts were lack of a rec or GPA. No way to know if it is true.

It wouldn't have been lack of recs - those were all covered. I'm assuming it was GPA since she is cute as a button and personality plus. I've knows quite a few girls who pledged at Bama with not much above a 3.0. If the requirement has gone up, I really think they need to be honest about it. I know I will not be telling the Charlotte girls any longer that a 3.0 is the requirement - I try to be as honest as possible about what they should expect. Thanks for all the feedback. RTR
