Conditions of Admission (3.0) - Will I Get Rescinded? Help!

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi, I've been accepted to Fall 2014 to Cal and I am (or was) very excited. The problem is, my third quarter grades are absolutely horrendous. I am getting all C's and even 1 D (possibly)... I got very very lazy. I did ok first 2 quarters, but it looks like my final GPA for my SENIOR year will be around an 82-83.5, without any C's. I have 6 a-g courses atm, and I should be getting a B in all of them.</p>

<p>Grades: B/B/B/B/B/B Final Grades
My school:
A: 100-90
B: 80-89
C: 70-79.....</p>

<p>Now, I thought the 3.0 unweighted was an 80%. But now people are telling me that it is an 85% for a 3.0 unweighted. I know this is different for every school, but will this cause me to get rescinded?</p>

<p>My school doesn't do +/- on grades, so a B is a B. (Straight Bs'). With my 82-83.5 cumulative in senior year, will I get rescinded from UC Berkeley? Help, and thank you!</p>

<p>Do your high school’s transcripts report the percentage grades or the letter grades?</p>

<p>Needless to say, cutting it this close to the rescission threshold is not a good idea.</p>

<p>My high school displays percentage grades, but also gives what each percentage is equivalent to in letter grades. </p>

<p>And I know, I extremely regret the choices I made third quarter. It is unlikely that I’ll get rescinded with a 82-83.5, or is it likely?</p>

<p>You need to ask the colleges.</p>

<p>If 3.0= 85 and you can’t bring your year averages for the final report to 85 then yes you’re very likely to get rescinded. Regrets will do nothing, get to work now and bring those grades back up. They will, and DO, rescind several dozen students every year, it’s not like they lack applicants on the waitlist.</p>
