@eyemgh, thanks for the reply. It makes total sense. Every applicant wants their shortcomings not to figure prominently in their application. In this case, it’s GPA. My son who attends a very competitive high school in Austin gets a great education but gets “penalized” by having a lower GPA because the grading is so tough. On the bright side he has lots of 3,4, and 5s for his AP tests.

He is applying to architecture and I think he’s right on the border line of acceptance.
Cal Poly GPA. 3.89
SAT 1430
ACT 31 (M:33, CR:31)
MCA: 4520 (I think if they superscore the ACT)

Best of luck to all.
