Did everyone who got a decision get an email first? Sure would be nice to just wait for the email and not be pressing buttons like a lab rat.

Do people get an emai first?

Yes, email first. But simply said “your status has been updated.”

Thanks.

It’s actually worse than that, after a couple of pushes and no reward at least a lab rat will lose interest.

Your life just got so much easier!

I have an 8th grader already interested in this path. I believe I’m allowed to receive DM’s here now… if you ever feel like talking about your son (congrats, by the way!), I would be open to a DM. Don’t want to break any rules with an unsolicited private message.

The SLO GPA uses 9-11th a-g course grades with an 8 semester cap on CSU approved Honors, AP, IB or DE courses taken 10-11 th grades. You can use the CSU GPA calculator and add your 9-11th grades here. Basically your CSU GPA + 9th grades.

Same with us. CSU GPA was pitifully low for us (4.12) because of the cap. But SLO replied email to say, it does not just use that number. Classes are taken into consideration for “rigor” and it must be true.
