More than grades

Poster Message:
We are very strict about grades, but we don't have a specific GPA cutoff. It all depends on how difficult the high school is, how many AP classes the PNM took, whether the PNM challenged herself by taking AP calc, physics and/or chemistry or coasted with easier classes. We might cut someone some slack with a 3.5 in really hard classes, but cut someone with a 3.7 who didn't go beyond trig. ACTs also are very important. One of our recent pledge classes had an average ACT score of 29.3. I'm not saying this to be boastful, I just want PNMs to be aware of the competition and to adjust expectations accordingly. Plus, there are some houses that don't really do grade cuts, and some of those houses are fun and chill and not nearly as competitive. You can find a place in any house, so keep an open mind.
