<p>I have one year at UC Santa Cruz under my belt so far and wish to spend next year taking classes at a community college then transfer to one of the two Cal Polies. Observe and add to this, would you kindly?</p>
<p>edit: I want to know whether they consider GPA from UCSC, and if they do, then whether they average the GPA's from UCSC and junior college.</p>
<p>Yes, they will consider your total GPA history, including UCSC. Yes, the GPA get averaged.</p>
<p>The Cal Polys are very competitive. I don’t know the exact GPA cutoffs for your major (or your major), but it is not unusual to need a 3.7+ to get into many of the competitive majors. For 2009 at SLO they list a 3.32 as the average transfer GPA…BUT note that each year that number has likely gone up and would be low for competitive/impacted majors.</p>
