Gumbymom:

The original MCA information from 2013 had the SLO GPA capped at 4.2 but the admit ranges posted for the last few years has been higher so they probably do not cap the GPA anymore. If you calculate the maximum SLO GPA using 9-11th grades and an 8 semester honors point cap, the maximum would be around a 4.3-4.4.

It’s very hard to get above 4.3 unless a student takes fewer courses that is typical for today’s HS students.

As for whether the MCA is still capped at 4.2, versus what they report, no one knows. They did report GPAs above 4.2 when the MCA was known to be capped at 4.2. For the purposes of the MCA they just rounded all GPAs above 4.2 down to 4.20.
