How do UC Berkeley and UCLA judge grades?

<p>So I just finished this spring semester and finished 15 units that are all uc transferrable. I got a 3.4 this semester. I had taken uc transferrable courses last summer and had 12 units and had a 3.8. Basically my uc transferable gpa is a 3.5 as of now. My question is, do UC Berkeley and UCLA, do they look at upward trend? Or will they just calculate everything together and produce a final GPA?</p>

<p>They will look at your trend. But don’t expect it to work miracles.</p>
