Same thing with me! The CSDCAS application lowered my overall GPA because it factored in classes I took in high school. It is very frustrating, because my GPA I graduated with and is on my degree/transcript is higher.
Some schools only look at last 60 or major only, I think it really just depends...
I applied to the online program November 17th. I still haven't heard anything. I called yesterday and she said it can take up to 8 weeks. I am so nervous!
