If you could calculate your MCA score we could give you a better guess. Look up the thread “Confused about MCA” and it says how to calculate it in there.
@eyemgh Sorry, I didn’t know I needed an MCA. The only question I have about it is if the bonus points are for taking more semesters than what CSUmentor recommends, or for taking the semesters that Cal Poly recommends?
Look at the pinned thread at the top, especially reply #2, #7 and #46 (since you took ACT). To directly answer bonus points are calculated based on how close you get yo the CP preferred vs CP minimum. Good luck!
Now that I read that it might be confusing. It’s some or no HS education, but did not graduate from HS. As long as that’s the case, those points should count. Sweet!
