In my opinion, their GPA calculation and high GPA ranges quoted in their student profile makes them a competitive school to apply and get admitted.

Unlike the UCs, they consider grades from 9th in their GPA calculation. A lot of students have a not so smooth transition from junior high to high school with a few B’s in the 9th grade making them not competitive for SLO.

Adding more language courses can reduce GPA as well, since the denominator in the weighted capped GPA will increase.
