Does UC look at your Fall semester transcript?

<p>I wanted to know if UC looks at your fall semester transcript...I know that you have to fill in the WIP, but does that GPA actually count in the decision process?</p>

<p>I had to send in my transcripts through the fall to UCLA after I was accepted...</p>

<p>I have to submit my final transcript no later then July 15th... So yes at some point UCLA will at least want a fall transcript.</p>

<p>which UC or college are you referring to? If you're referring to UCLA, for instance, they actually have a June 1st deadline.</p>

<p>Check out Column 3. All UCs check the grades, though if look at the bottom of the page, it says:</p>

<p>Fall grades are generally used to help “borderline” applicants. Campuses may not use Fall grades if a student is clearly eligible or ineligible for admission.</p>

<p>i am not sure if thats a good or a bad thing. :(</p>

<p>My spring semester is so so</p>

<p>what do they mean by eligible or ineligible?? a good fall semester can significantly raise your GPA...</p>

<p>My 2cents says, they filter out tons of apps before we even send the fall grades...</p>

<p>Yes now this is confusing. I always thought that they do not even start reviewing the applications until the WIP are sent which include the Fall semester grades. To have only your first year in a community college be the basis of decisions can be very good or very bad. </p>

<p>And fei, you make a great point...Fall semester can significantly raise your GPA. If one performed poorly in some semester prior to application time...and then decided to work super hard to get straight A's in the Fall semester...that should merit some kind of credit towards his/her application. It just seems to make more sense to have the GPA of a span of 3 full semesters (Example: Fall '04, Spring '05, & Fall '05...assuming you transfer within 2 years) used for the admission process than just your freshman year GPA at your community college. Interesting...I really do not know anymore.</p>
