Conditions of Admission for Cal

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>I'm a community college student who was just recently accepted to UC Berkeley on appeal. My conditions of admission to Berkeley include the (apparently standard) line item:</p>

<p>You must complete all UC-transferable courses in Winter and/or Spring 2009 terms with a 3.0 or higher GPA and no grade lower than a C.</p>

<p>Well, I've done that, but my grades for the spring semester were significantly lower than usual. Before this last semester I had straight A's with the exception of a single B; my spring semester grades were an A, a B and a C+, all in 5 unit classes for a GPA of 3.1 for that semester. My cumulative transfer GPA before spring was 3.93, and afterword it would be closer to 3.8. I wasn't slacking off or anything. I had some significant family problems that took a large toll on me.</p>

<p>Technically, I know that I've met the wording of the requirement, but could I still be in trouble here? I'm already ashamed enough at how it looks on paper, but if those grades were to seriously affect my life I'd be devastated.</p>

<p>BTW, I'm a first-time poster and I have to say thanks to the CC community, because your posts have been very useful resources in the past!</p>

<p>As long as you’ve successfully met the conditions of admission then you’re fine. :)</p>

3

<p>you should be fine i would only begin to worry if your C was in a major pre-req.</p>

4

<p>It was a prereq (calc), but all of my other prereqs are A’s… how worried should I be? :(</p>

5

<p>you are fine.</p>

6

<p>I don’t see how you wouldn’t be ok? It’s ok to get a random C+ due to things going on with your family … you are human . . . . don’t stress yourself out over something so trivial</p>

7

<p>I excel at stressing out over things that are trivial… that’s one of the things that helped me get so many A’s in the first place :)</p>

<p>Thanks for the reassurance!</p>

<p>I wish my problem wasn’t so severe. My math teacher gave me a D because I messed up on 1 test.</p>
