<p>mvmom11 my son was admitted ED last year and is a freshman this year.</p>
<p>See if you can calculate your daughter’s weighted GPA - that will give you a much better frame of reference for comparison. Cal Poly includes 8th grade math, all 9th grade courses as well as 10-11, and weights community college courses (double credit, 1-point boost in grade).</p>
<p>Vballmom- I did not know Cal Poly included 9th grade grades. Thanks for that heads up. I know many years ago when I went to Cal Poly they were the only CSU that required an essay with their application.</p>
<p>Cal Poly also asks for hours per year of ECs and jobs, and has the student indicate how many of those hours are related to his or her major. I’m not sure how much this information is weighted in the application, but my son did have significant hours in each category (FIRST Robotics and a summer job teaching robotics).</p>
<p>No essay though, thank goodness!</p>
<p>This is what I heard, as well.</p>
<p>Quote:</p>
<p>“SAT IIs are no longer required for UCs for the class of 2012.”</p>
<p>From the UC website: “If you are applying for admission for fall 2012 or beyond, you will have to submit scores for the ACT Assessment plus Writing or the SAT Reasoning Test only. SAT Subject Test scores may be considered in the evaluation of your application, but they no longer will be required.”

<p>^^^</p>
<p>Well the fact that they will still be part of the “consideration” will still mean that kids who can afford them will have an advantage. If the UCs truly want to “level the playing field” they need to them from consideration.</p>

<p>You can probably get into almost any CSU with the possible exception of CP-SLO, assuming your SATs or ACTs are good and assuming you’re a California resident.</p>
<p>What do you want to study?</p>
<p>I’m thinking about studying Journalism or Interior Design
& I’m a northern California resident
I heard CSU Long Beach is a harder csu to get into. Do you think i have a chance after that D sophmore year?</p>
<p>Isn’t your D taken off your transcript when you retake the course in summer school?</p>
<p>Is your GPA around 3.3 unweighted?</p>
<p>CSU LB is becoming more difficult to get into, plus it’s a huge school - is that what you want?</p>
<p>The D gets taken off and replaced, helping my gpa, but it still says that i got a D and made it up in summer school
and yes, i want a big school. I was thinking about CSU channel islands, but i heard it’s extremely small</p>
