Parents of the HS Class of 2022

In the past they used 12 mos or 52 weeks. They may have changed it this year to give kids credit for EC, work, leadership, etc. before the pandemic.

The CSUs are very stat driven. SLO is different in many ways. They calculate their own GPA (using 9-11 grade) and use those activity questions in their MCA calculation. The MCA calculation has changed since they no longer use test scores but you can read about the relative weight of the different questions on the SLO forum.

SLO does not routinely send out supplemental questions after the application. Both SLO and SDSU have honors colleges that have their own application with essays but one doesn’t receive an invite to apply until after they are accepted into the university. SDSU sends out acceptances to potential Weber Honors College students in December. SLO sends invites a week or two after regular admissions notifications in the spring.
