Composite GPA Scores.

From the CSUS Psyc Grad School Brochure on acceptance into graduate studies:

 "Current Evaluation Model. The current applicant evaluation model equally weights a composite Grade Point Average (GPA) and scores on the GRE. Composite GPA represents a weighted average of the overall GPA and the GPA of the last 60 semester (90 quarter) units, with the latter weighted twice as much as the overall GPA. GRE scores from the Verbal and Quantitative exams are averaged. The two averages (GPA and GRE) are transformed to standard scores, and an admission criterion is established by the department. Applications that pass this first review are then given to the track committees who review the track specific requirements. The track committees will make the final acceptance decisions."

This helps. Since my last 60 units of GPA is like 3.7 and it's double weighted, meaning I'm likely to receive a GPA weight of about 3.6 (when it's all standardized.) I hope.
