Would you support raising the minimum GPA for freshman PNMs?

Many schools admit students based on a score comprised of GPA + standardized test scores (and other factors). While it's not necessarily the norm, it's definitely possible to be admitted into a competitive school with a less than competitive GPA. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Telling me not to worry about it whilst trying to get relatives with crazy high GPAs in (or at least giving them good and accurate information to help them get in!) is like telling a crack addict to not notice the pipe sitting on the table. LOL!

I get that it is possible, but probable with a 1.9? I'm struggling with that.

Obviously DoeofDenmark isn’t on the admissions board at UT. She said from the get go that it was her sister who extended the bid to this girl. If you’d like to know how someone got into UT, their admissions office is open Monday-Friday. I don’t think how the girl got into UT is relevant at all, she got in, there’s nothing we can do about it.

How does a girl get into UT with a 1.9 GPA? Looks like we have our answer! https://finance.yahoo.com/news/felic...190801230.html
