<p>Hey guys I was just wondering does santa clara university calculate your GPA using 9th grade too or only 10th and 11th grade like the UC's. Also how much does it cost if you are living at home. Like I dont need to pay them for room and board the first year, correct?? Thank you in advance.</p>
<p>I believe it is required to live in the dorms freshmen year, but if you don’t have to then the room and board payment should be none. Also I was wondering the same thing about GPA. Please tell me if you find out!</p>
<p>I’m not sure they calculate your GPA separate of your freshman year (at least they don’t ask for a separate number) but if yours happens to be low, don’t worry. I know that the admissions officers do a great job of looking through the entire application.</p>
<p>I know that it is highly recommended that all freshman live in the dorms but I’m fairly certain that some local students commute.</p>
<p>Pray, my son! Pray!</p>
