Not sure about SLO gpa. This is what is listed on her app.
I also just want to remind everyone that schools have different curriculums and philosophies and also different gpa calculation methods. Some schools start out of a 4.5 or weight differently or offer a gazillion AP and dual enrollment classes. Colleges know what each school is like and have likely seen students from all of them and know how to differentiate.
For example, my daughters school is a standard public school. We joke that it is a secret wannabe performing arts school. They have to take three years of arts and two years of vocational classes (some can overlap) and three semesters of PE. They also don’t emphasize AP classes and students are encouraged to keep balance and discouraged from taking too many. Also, the teachers in the AP classes seem to have a “oh you think you smart, let’s see how smart” attitude and make the classes more confusing and difficult than necessary.
They do not weigh gpa at all and do not class rank at all. There are no academic awards given out, including valedictorian.
Her friend who goes to cal poly went to one of the best stem high schools in the country and never took an elective. Totally different profile, both kids got in.
So take it all with a grain of salt. But it’s fun to look at the stats!
