<p>I have a 4.4 GPA and I'm ELC with a 2140 SAT and 7 AP classes total (my school only has 13).</p>
<p>But I have all B's so far for this semester's grades.</p>
<p>How will this affect me for UC Berkeley, UCLA, USC, and University of Texas?</p>
<p>I heard UCs don't even look at first semester senior year grades. They only look if they ask for it, which I'm pretty sure I wont be because I'm sure I wont be borderline. And same thing goes for USC. But I'm still not so sure.</p>
<p>Actually, senior grades are typically the most important factor in your decision. They are the single best predictor of freshman year performance, and if your grades are slipping, that’s not good.</p>
<p>Get them up!</p>

<p>Not true at UCs but they don’t want to see a drop. Your GPA and SAT are above average for all UCs so you have a strong shot. Good shot at USC.</p>
<p>What do u mean they don’t wanna see a drop? Does this mean I have to maintain the GPA I have right now? That’s almost impossible now. I heard its only a 3.0 UW for berekeley and LA. I can do that with all B’s</p>
<p>uc’s are focus mostly on grades and SAT. they focus on the grades of sophomore and junior year. I am from california myself and my high school is a college prep mostly for preparation to go to UC schools. you are fine as long as you maintain a decent GPA. Do not get C’s. You do not have to get a 4.0 by any means but with a 4.4 weighted GPA for your sophomore and junior year and a 2140 SAT score, I see an acceptance letter for you from any UC, despite your lack of stellar grades in senior year.</p>
<p>Yes, agree, don’t get Cs. USC and other privates won’t like any grade drop.</p>
