I think this is worth quoting. I wrote for a darling girl a couple of years ago who probably didn't make minimum GPA for my group
on that campus (and I don't know what that is because I didn't go there, but am guessing it was higher than what she had). She had the unfortunate circumstance of having lost a family member her sophomore year of HS. Completely unexpected. She went to a super competitive private HS, and flat out tanked that year. However, in looking at her grades, she slowly picked herself up and kept going. Not great overall, but finished as strong as she could. Darling girl, great extra-curriculars, etc... Had a wonderful rush & got what she wanted even though she probably didn't have the "right" GPA. Everyone knew the story & cut her slack for that.
Point being...there are no hard and fast rules in the world of NPC recruitment!
