<p>Their website has a list of average gpa for incoming freshman for each of their colleges. For the school of engineering it is 3.98. Is this weighted or unweighted? I’ll put the link below.

<p>Well, they are CSU GPA’s which are weighted. But if it eases your mind a little, I got in to Biomedical Engineering and my CSU GPA was only 3.5</p>
<p>How do you calculate your CSU gpa?</p>
<p>The CSU website has a calculator that will give you your CSU gpa.</p>
<p>Could somebody link me to it?</p>
<p>Keep in mind that Cal Poly SLO uses grades from 9th through 11th (not 10th & 11th as other CSU’s) with honors points granted for courses designated as “honors”, “advance placement” or “ib” on a high school transcript, up to eight semesters.

<p>Here is a CSU gpa calculator, but disregard reference to only using 10 & 11th grades.

<p>Thanks. So this:’‘No more than two approved honors level courses taken in the tenth grade may be given extra points’’ means that even if i took three honors classes as a sophomore i only count two of them?</p>
<p>“even if i took three honors classes as a sophomore i only count two of them?”</p>
<p>That is correct. In the GPA, they count no more than 8 total extra honors points. I do believe however, that they take into consideration if you pushed yourself and have more than the 8. </p>
<p>For example, I had 22 total honors points throughout freshman to junior year. I was really disappointed to find out that they would only count 8 of them. </p>
<p>My unweighted GPA is a 3.51 while my weighted GPA is a 4.01. Huge difference. My Cal Poly GPA is a 3.72. The average Cal Poly GPA for business was a 3.87, yet I was still accepted under early decision. My test scores were only average. What I believe got me in was my rigorous course schedule. Nothing goes to waste.</p>
<p>That was really helpful slimsta. Thanks a lot!</p>
