CalPoly SLO GPA Reqs?

Colleges & Universities Cal Poly San Luis Obispo

Hi everyone,
I’m applying for CalPoly SLO in the fall. Based on their website, it seems that they consider 9-11 capped weighted GPA. I have a few questions:

  1. Is the GPA purely academic? Or are PE classes included?
  2. How would I go about calculating my 9-11 capped GPA?

For anyone curious about stats (lol):

Intended major: mechanical/electrical engineering

UW Academic: 3.95
W Academic: 4.5

APs: CSA, Calc BC, Phys 1&2, Chemistry (5), APUSH (4)

Thank you!

Generally the UCs and CSUs only count academic (A-G) classes, but sometimes PE classes count as A-G classes, for example a dance class might count as an arts class and also fulfill a PE requirement for your school. If you attend a CA high school, you can look up your high school to double check which classes are A-G classes (and which are considered honors classes) on this web site: University of California A-G Course List

You can use the RogerHub UC GPA calculator and enter the numbers for grades 9-11 (instead of the usual 10-11 which applies to the UCs and other CSUs). GPA Calculator for the University of California – RogerHub

You can also calculate your SLO GPA using the CSU calculator and including 9-11th a-g course grades since it automatically limits the Honors points to 8 semesters.
