Cal Poly rewards high GPA more than rigor. My current high school sophomore is in 6 weighted classes. That’s 12 semesters just in her sophmore year. And she’s getting mostly B’s.
For Cal Poly, to maximize GPA she should move 3 of those 6 classes down to unweoghted and get A’s and drop one altogether so she wouldn’t have a zero period. Her rigor score would not be affected at all and her MCA would go up. So no, Cal Poly, IMO does not reward rigor. In fact she is really being penalized for it.
So for her Cal Poly is likely not gonna happen. But she’d be miserable in World History with an A and is happy in AP Euro with a B.
