<p>Just throwing it out there; I wanna know what my chances of being accepted are.
I applied for Architectural Engineering (backup was Civil)
Please be brutally honest :)</p>
<p>Things that were on the app:
GPA (according to the UC approved a-g list; 10th-11th grade): 3.77
SAT Scores: 1st time: Reading:640 Math:750 Writing 740
2nd time: Reading:710 Math:720 Writing 760
I took a special ROP class called CAD Architectural Desktop
I put on the app that I worked over the summer; it was an internship at an aerospace corporation (this was before I knew what I wanted to do)
Active in clubs around 1-6 hours per week</p>
<p>Things that weren’t on the app:
GPA (according to my high school transcript; 10th-11th grade): 4.12
800 on SATII Math Level 2
700 on SATII Physics</p>
<p>Your scores seem well above the average to me. Your GPA is the only questionable thing but I think your test scores will more than make up for that. I applied early decision Architectural Engineering for fall 2012 too. </p>
<p>My UC/CSU GPA: 4.12
ACT: 29</p>
<p>From what I’ve read, it seems to me that you will get in. I wish you the best of luck! How is it that your transcript GPA is 4.12 and your a-g GPA is so much lower?</p>
<p>Cal Poly doesn’t use ninth grade for GPA. They stopped counting it ~ a couple years ago.
I think you have a decent chance with your above average SAT, but your GPA, which is the same as mine, is a bit low. Good luck!</p>
<p>My gpa is exactly the same. the one on my transcript says 4.12 but my csu gpa becomes 3.87. I think its due to the fact they put a cap on the ap/honors credit they give. I took 7 ap/honor courses 10-11 and i am taking 4 ap classes for a total of 11 ap/honor classes. too bad my gpa doesnt reflect my hard work.</p>
<p>yeah, the thing that brought my gpa down so much is that a lot of the honors/ap/ib classes i took are not uc approved. Junior year i took an ib class and an honors math, but neither of them count for the extra honors points according to the uc’s… so i was only able to get 2 semesters worth of honors points in my junior for my one ap class i took. And yes, the cap sucks. I took 9 semesters of classes that count toward extra honors points in my sophomore year but i was only able to use 4 of them… oh well</p>
<p>I am in a similar boat. My transcript GPA is 4.14, but my Cal Poly GPA is 3.95. Good luck to everyone. Perhaps we will all see each other next year.</p>
<p>BrianDP, csumentor states this:
“Your high school grade point average is calculated on all A-G courses completed after grade 9.”
It has more info about this here: [CSUMentor</a> - Plan for College - High School Students - GPA Calculator](<a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>Cal State Apply | CSU)</p>
<p>None of the CSU’s or UC’s count grades received during freshmen year. Hope this helps :)</p>
<p>That is a GPA calculator, not specific for one college. I remember seeing a page on the cal poly website that stated 9th grade counts for the GPA.</p>
<p>Actually, I can’t seem to find one, and I am not sure why I was so confident that they do not count ninth grade. I remember I looked into it before I applied because my freshman year grades were rather low.</p>
<p>I’m kind of relying on Cal Poly to count 9th grade. I’d still only have a 3.6 with 9th-11th (3.45 for 10th-11th), which is low for a ME applicant.</p>
<p>I just know that when I was using the CSU GPA calculator it said we only use grades 10-11.[CSUMentor</a> - Plan for College - High School Students - GPA Calculator](<a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>Cal State Apply | CSU)
Seems to me that we are all right… Way to be inconsistent Cal Poly.</p>
