Thanks for this info about the CSU/UC gpa! I got that number from his school’s grade site, though I do remember my son saying he got a different calculation when he input his grades on the applications. I’ll ask him about it. It’s good to know about the cap. I wish all these systems would align!

Son was accepted today by email!
Local area, Mechanical engineering major, 4.0UW GPA (I don’t remember his CSU GPA but it would be close to the highest possible).
Yesterday he was eating lunch with a large group of friends and one of them received an acceptance email from Cal Poly Pomona. All the other kids–a passel of high achievers–quickly checked their emails 
(no luck for the rest of them at that point).

I’m not familiar with CSU GPA. Is that something she can look up on her common app?
The CSU GPA is found on her CSU application. The Cal states have their own application and do not use the Common Application.
Here is the CSU GPA calculator if you want to calculate it rather than looking it up.

I believe when using the Cal State app it will calculate the CSU GPA after you fill in the A-G section.

Is there any way to know how many acceptances have been sent out in the past week? My daughter is anxiously awaiting (I admit I am a little more anxious). CCP seems to be a safety/target for a lot of students, so I imagine a waitlist would move, but would be nice to know earlier.
You will not find any data on how many students have been admitted until all the decisions have been posted.
For all the Cal states, the decisions are rolling so the early admits are either local (in service area) applicants or higher stat applicants and decisions will continue to be posted until April 1. Patience is required when it comes to the Cal States.
Best of luck to your D.
