Your high school grade point average is calculated using your grades in all your college prep a-g classes completed after the 9th grade. • Test scores are required unless you have a grade point average above 3.0 and are a resident of California. • A small percentage of the freshman class may be admitted based on eligibility index and additional characteristics including first generation college status, socioeconomic factors, skills or talents that align with or contribute to special university programs, and evidence of overcoming educational obstacles
