F Senior Year! UCLA Effected or no?

<p>for top privates does the 3.0 uw also apply?</p>

<p>g0gat0rs23, depends on the UC. UCLA/UCB, no lower than C or C-, no more than 2 Cs. You have to write letter to explain why you have 3 Cs. For the rest of the other UCs, 3.0 weighted average. However, all this may change this year because of budget cut and such.</p>

<p>I have the same question as Mal77. the OP said the quarter not semester, and he still has another quarter to go, with the exams.</p>

<p>lol from the thread title i thought the OP was saying F*** senior year :D</p>

<p>You send in your final grade, it's usually semester.</p>

<p>F=fail,</p>

<p>Im sorry</p>

<p>IDK, pay the teacher to change the grade</p>

<p>Yeah, F will be automatic rejection. If it was like a D and you had a really good excuse.....maybe...........You'll have to look at community college.</p>

<p>F=doesn't equal community college</p>

<p>U can get to UCR, UCSC, UCM with one F.</p>

<p>but you need somewhat of an good explanation though.</p>

<p>^Not really, u can have super duper grades still, super SAT (above 1800) and still get with one F into UCR, USDC, and UCM.</p>

<p>a friend of mine did.</p>

<p>Yeah, you probably do need to explain, but they don't take it so much into heart like</p>

<p>UCLA, UCB=Fail, out, not even considered anymore</p>

<p>or </p>

<p>UCI, UCSB, UCD, UCSD=Yeah, right F? out, maybe we'll let u in, give us a good reason</p>

<p>UCR, UCSC, UCM=F? Okay, well, what super duper SAT, ACT, or GPA do u have to compensate?</p>

<p>An F? I can maybe understand a D, but an F?... not good at all. Especially not in your senior year. Colleges look for trends in a student's transcript and if you're doing worse instead of better..that doesn't say anything except that you are ill with senioritis.</p>

<p>An F will most likely get an acceptance rescinded anywhere. UCLA requires a 3.0 unweighted average (I believe). However, no D's or F's are allowed.</p>

<p>i got rejected so oh well
lol</p>

<p>That rejection still isn't going to solve your problem if you applied and got accepted to other UCs as they have similar rules as well.</p>

<p>A similar thing happened to a kid at my school, except that he got a D in a required course second semester senior year. UCs don't accept anything lower than a C, so his acceptance was rescinded.</p>

<p>Well I just e-mailed UCSB Admissions about this topic because I was admitted and they said that as long as I maintain a 3.0 overall my senior year that the F didn't matter so I'm covered there already. Also, Pepperdine accepted me even though they seen the F on my transcript so I'm also not worried about it with them. The only ones I'm worried about is UCSD and Cal, and I already e-mailed UCSD about it and I'm going to wait to hear back from Cal before I e-mail them. But I just want to prove a point that positivity is the best answer and negativity doesn't last long. Mainly all of the replies I received were negative, yet the real result turned out to be positive so I am happy with that! Everyone should keep an open positive mind these days! Have an awesome day all!!</p>

<p>agenalay -- make sure the F grade (which is the same as not having taken the course) does not mean you did not complete the a-g requirements for UC admission. If it does, then you should see about making it up in summer before school starts at UCSB.</p>

<p>P.S. there is a difference between negatitivy, and truthfulness. The truth is not positive or cheery sometimes.</p>

<p>DunninLA:
Why would AP Calculus be a required course? The only courses you need to complete for the "a-g" requirements is Algebra 1, Geometry & Algebra 2. Even Pre-Cal which I already passed isn't required. I don't know which school you go to or went to, but most schools here in Cali don't require anything past Algebra 2. I understand your willingness to help, but negativity is not needed. : ]</p>

<p>Congrats agenalay for things working out!</p>

<p>thank you very much any1can! and i like ur name lol. at least there are some positive ppl out there... lol. : ]</p>
