<p>I didn't really care during freshman year and that was my mistake but I am improving and my sophomore year I got a 3.0 and 3.17 GPA and hope to improve on that in my junior year. I did pass all my classes after taking 2 classes in summer school.</p>
<p>UCs don’t calculate freshman grades. They do want all A-G classed passed with a C or better. </p>
<p>So, you are still in the game, if you meet the A-g requirement!</p>
<p>If you show an upward trend your junior year, you can write an essay about learning your lessons. Make sure to do even better your junior year, because your sophomore GPA is at the bottom range of the less competitive UCs. </p>
