cSU GPa 4.19 fully weighted 4.55 at time of application. A-G 34 years of classes. 25 total AP/DE classes.
I think CP considers course rigor so having a ton of A-G classes that are AP/DE helps even though it lowers the CSU GPA. I wish they released their criteria like SJSU does and they way they used to with the MCA calculation before they went test blind.
CSU GPA is 9-11 whereas UC gpa is 10-11 so CSU gpa is lower than UC GPA.

Parent here so I’m just guessing on the numbers below.
School has odd schedule with accelerated yearlong courses last each semester term, so you can double up on subjects by taking one “year” in the fall then the next level in the spring. There are 4 periods in the day, so up to 8 “years” per school year.
Decision: Accepted
