How GPA is generally used: 1. As a cut-off. Different houses have different minimums but usually between 3.0-3.2. Of course there are exceptions but this is generally the rule. 2. As a method to score academic potential. Most houses use a scoring system to rank pnms. Academic potential is generally one of many categories. Instead of 4 points in that category you might get 3 but it won't really affect you that much. Consider two girls who are being scored on ease of conversation, gpa, connections (legacy/strength of recs), and presentation. You might get a 3 in gpa and the other girl might get a 4 but you there are 3 other categories where you can gain points. Other houses don't use this method and do like a 1-5 how well do you think she will fit in our house and if you make the cut-off gpa generally won't factor into that. 3. To break a tie. If you and another girl get the same number of points and the house is divided on whom to put through to the next round GPA is often used as a tie breaker.
