<p>Will a 2.83 get you rescinded from UCB? I received a 3.67 first semester, and I really hope that this semester I get a 3.0 but I'm just speaking hypothetically...</p>
<p>well, from what I understand, you have to have a really good reason for having that low of a GPA. they specifically state in the conditions of admission that you can't get anythign lower than C and you have to maintain a 3.0 unweighted. </p>
<p>My question: Does a C- count as something lower than a C? I might get like 72% in my math class this semester</p>
<p>masha - no, the UCs don't look at pluses and minuses in high school grades. a C- is equivalent to a C.</p>
<p>well some people in the UCLA board said something like its 3.0 cummulative, and I was wondering whether it was the same thing for UCB.</p>
<p>Yup :)</p>
<p>Work harder or lose your admission. If you can pull off a GPA needed to get into UCB for your first seven semesters, you can at least achieve a 3.0 in your last.</p>
<p>what berkeley students get C- in math?!</p>
<p>student:
what does yup mean? is it cummulative?</p>
<p>Berkeley students with senioritis who hate busy work and take AP Stat (the class that's king of all busy work)</p>
<p>No. You need a 3.0 among the grades received in your last semester.</p>
<p>If it were cumulative, someone with a 4.0 average through seven semesters would be able to fail all classes in his eighth semester and still end up with a 3.5-3.6.</p>
<p>wth mash lol. i was missing half of my term (haha senioritis) and managed a 4.67. D:</p>
<p>meh, whatever. I guess i'm just an underachiever than ?</p>
<p>Come on masha, it's high school math for chrissakes. You don't even have to study to get an A-.</p>
<p>:( <em>sobs</em> stop making me feel like i'm inadequate or something !</p>
<p>wow these r the ppl that goto cal? but i guess since they talk **** about cal it means cal is pretty good</p>
<p>CalX i guess ur HS had crazy grade inflation cuz HW bring ur grade past B for me</p>
<p>u need a 3.0 in ur entire senior year, unless cal would not do the same thing as UCLA</p>
<p>"u need a 3.0 your entire senior year"
what does that mean?
so if i got a 3.67 first semester, i would be okay with a 2.83?</p>
<p>no... get at least a 3.0 uw BOTH semesters.</p>
<p>When I called them, they said more than a .5 drop in your GPA was seen as "significant' enough for a student's admissions to be rescinded.</p>
<p>but it says on their site that you need to maintain a B average, which is a 3.0 and nothing lower than a C...</p>
<p>in all honesty, you can at least pull a 3.0 in high school with your eyes shut and your fingers in a knot, if that really is the case</p>
<p>just ace the finals and i'm sure you will be fine.</p>
<p>What NeedAdvice? That's so weird, why would they say ONE thing on their website and then completely change their minds? What do they mean by a drop of .5 or more? .5 from your previous semester's GPA? Anyway, i think you're safe so long as you don't get D's and don't get a bunch of C's either. Getting B's is not so hard.</p>
