Sent in Application - Confused

So I sent in my cal poly app yesterday, Early Decision, and im now a bit confused.

I applied to Civil Engineering / Environmental Engineering(alternate). Im a bit confused on the 10-12 A-G GPA business. Is it acceptable to put in honors points for AP classes that I am taking this year, senior year? Or is it strictly 10-11 even though it says 10-12.. lol.

Also, I have another question. I took the SAT 3 times with varying levels of success, and I know that Cal Poly does superscoring and doesnt look at writing. Out of the three times i took it, i got a 760 CR, 570 Math the first time. 650 CR 590 Math the second time. And 720 CR 610 Math the third. The Cal Poly app only has 2 spots for SAT input so I put the 2nd and 3rd time because they had higher total scores, forgetting the fact that they only look at CR and Math. So because of this they dont see my highest possible combination of scores, which would be 1370. Instead it is 1330.

So should I send in an email to the admissions requesting a change, as defined here Application Changes -Admissions- Cal Poly ?

Im really kicking myself for these little mistakes that I overlooked. Anyways, my stats were 3.59 GPA + 1330 SAT when I applied to civil engineering ED. Cutting it close . Any small increase in either could put me over the fence into acceptance territory.

Did you order all 3 official score sent to CalPoly? I'm not sure how CalPoly process the score, but once another school's admission mentioned they only use the official score sent from collegeboard.

But for peace of mind, at least send an email or call admission to see if change is needed.

Yes, cal poly has been one of my top choices since I started looking at colleges so I have sent in all of my SAT scores, except the most recent one for some reason. But I will have those all sent out within the next month when my results from my October subject test come out.

My GUESS is they will use official report to superscore since they even accept Nov. score. In that case, applicant would leave the score empty if they submit app now. But again, contact the school directly so you can have some good sleep
