A high GPA won't guarantee you WILL be asked back, but a low GPA will guarantee you WON'T be asked back. I am in a top tier house and while GPA is important, your ACT score is even more important. That's because in today's academic environment where grade inflation is a very real thing, we are looking for people who are legitimately smart, not just those who might get good grades at a school where you get an A unless you really screw up. For that reason our ACT cutoff is about a 29. If you have a high GPA with rigorous course work (mostly AP classes, two years of calc, physics, etc.) then you likely won't be cut for grades, but it also depends on whether that is a weighted or unweighted GPA. So I guess what I'm saying is that it's all relative, but a 3.5 weighted GPA without a bunch of honors and AP courses just won't get you very far.
