DoeofDenmark if you can answer this from my other post (you might not be able to) I would be curious...

The options I see for a 1.9 GPA going through as an upperclassman...
1) Can't be their first semester at UT Austin, because the 1.9 would have been from another college/university and I can't see them getting admitted with that GPA?
2) Then it has to be their 2nd or 3rd semester as a UT Austin student...admitted in spring, went through fall recruitment (or picked up as a COB during the late summer or something). Terrible GPA from being a student at UT Austin, but was fine enough at other college to get admitted.
3) Couldn't be Spring pledge because if she was that special of a snowflake, she would have gone through fine in the fall. If she had just transferred into UT Austin in January, she would in the first scenario above.
I'm less interested in the membership selection portion of this (to each their own) and just trying to figure out how this person got INTO the school.
