<p>Hey everyone! I'm currently a sophomore in HS on the east coast, but I'm planning on/considering graduating early. My stats so far are:</p>

<p>Freshman year:
Geometry Honors
English 9 Honors
Government Honors
Algebra Based Physics Honors
Foundations of Technology
Gym/Health
Piano I
French II</p>

<p>Sophomore year:
Modern World History Honors
Journalism I
Algebra II Honors
English 10 Honors
Biology Honors
French III
Publications I
Pre-Calculus w/ Trigonometry </p>

<p>And next year, which would be my junior/senior year I will be taking:
English 11 Honors
AP US History
AP Calculus A
AP Calculus B
Chemistry Honors
AP Language & Composition
Journalism II
AP Government/Politics</p>

<p>I did Model UN last year as an extra curricular and won honorable mention for my position paper. This year I did Open Studio (Art) as an extra curricular, and I have over 100 hours of community service, and this year I was News Editor of the newspaper last semester and am currently on the yearbook.</p>

<p>Next year I hope to be in the National Music Honor Society, National French Honor Society, and National Social Studies Honor Society, and also other extra curriculars. </p>

<p>Do you think that with these classes & ECs that I would be able to be admitted? </p>

<p>Also, on a side note, if I got admitted, I would try to defer admission for one year so I would have a gap year between high school & college taking the place of my senior year to work, intern, or volunteer abroad. </p>

<p>Would that be possible at this school?</p>

<p>Oh and I am taking the SATs next month for the first time so I don't have those scores yet, but I have a 4.0 unweighted GPA so far.</p>

<p>SDSU only looks at your sophomore and junior year grades and you math and reading SAT or ACT. They only count college prep classes in your GPA (a-g classes as they call them) They use a weighted GPA that is capped by only giving bonus GPA for 2 AP classes per year. They combine your CSU GPA and your test scores (GPAx400+SAT) to create an Eligibility index. For an out of state freshman you need around 4100. So a 3.8 CSU GPA and an 1100/1600 SAT or better will get you in.</p>

<p>Extras - as hard as it is to believe - they don’t care. It not factored into any Cal State schools other than Cal Poly SLO. UCs have different criteria.</p>

<p>if you have the option to take classes at your local CC, do it. idk why people jizz over ap courses -__-</p>

<p>Actually to get your CSU eligibility index score you need to multiple your grade point average by 800. Then add your SAT Reading and Math scores. :)</p>

<p>lilsassysis is right.</p>

<p>GPA x 800 - sorry</p>
