GPA...
Sorry...I should have probably specified that the first set of questions basically mean nothing.
The only time when GPA would come into question would be if it's lower than a 2.0 (C-Average, which honestly shouldn't be that hard). To be on sports teams, choir, band, and any clubs of the like...the school wants them to have at least a 2.0 because if they can't maintain a C-Average without activities, how are they supposed to when they devote hours to an organization. Trust me, our team is and will always be a very diverse group, and not the "brain trust" of the school or science dept. We turned down many people who had over a 4.5 GPA and accepted those with a 2.75.
And I agree, applications aren't the best method. I mean, look at college applications, writing about those horrendous essay topics & SAT scores can't possibly gauge whether a person is fitted to that school but its their best method for now. I would have loved to do team building excercises but with over 100 applicants and not that much time, it just wouldn't be plausible for our team.
