I’ll try to explain the question as clearly as I can, sorry if it’s a little complicated:
Background: D26 took 3 A-G approved courses through ATDP over the summers during HS. (She received good grades in these courses.)
Technically, these are not HS credit-bearing classes unless the HS puts them on its transcript; however, both UC and CSU allow ATDP classes with A-G approval to be reported as HS classes in the application and added to A-G matching (see this page, specifically under “Applying to California State University (CSU)”:
My questions are:
- I don’t think it’s required to report these on the CSU app as HS classes, since they aren’t technically HS credit?
- I think the main impact of reporting these additional classes would be to decrease the CPSLO capped weighted GPA?
- I know UC takes the total number of A-G classes into consideration in its holistic review, but I believe that CPSLO does not?
I have the feeling it’s probably more favorable for D not to report these classes… and it seems like it’s not required to report them… but would like input on this, if anyone has thoughts! Thank you!
Edited to add: These particular classes count as D (science) and G (elective), and D26 is already maxed out on science with 5 years of lab science in HS, so I don’t think there would be a benefit in the A-G matching part of the CSU app, either.
