<p>I got a 3.8 GPA unweighted my first semester of senior year. </p>
<p>I got accepeted to UCLA.</p>
<p>Now</p>
<p>Theoretically, what's the lowest GPA I can obtain without getting rescinded?</p>
<p>The pamphlet I got said a 3.0 unweighted with nothing less than a C, so does that mean just 2nd semester or 1st semester or both combined?</p>
<p>Anyone know?</p>
<p>I had the same question that you have.. I was told different info by different sources.. so I finally decided to call the admissions office. They told me that the 3.0 requirement was per semester. Meaning, second semester you need a 3.0 uw as well</p>
<p>edit*- and no, you can't get anything lower than a C either</p>
<p>wait I called the office too, and the people there said that it's a 3.0 combining both semesters (as in liz can get a 2.2 this semester)</p>
<p>I don't think even they have a definitive answer. They're most likely going to be leniant no matter what, but there's no reason to risk it.</p>
<p>I've heard many things...but the general consensus is that it's 2.8 UW for all UCs except UCLA and UCB (which is 3.0 UW for both semesters). And of course, no D's, F's, or many C's. I believe there was something about reporting 3 C's or more, but I'm not sure.</p>
<p>Hmm.... </p>
<p>for the record, </p>
<p>if anyone is curious, </p>
<p>If your school gives less points for A-'s or whatever... </p>
<p>letter grades >>>>>> point values</p>
<p>damn i wanted to get 3 a's and 3 c's lol</p>
<p>What? For instance, I will have all A's and B's on my report card. In the situation where I would have straight B's, the B- on my transcript that's worth a 2.5 instead of a 3.0 would not hurt me.</p>
<p>Yeah, the +'s and -'s are taken off because UC GPA only takes letter grades. Usually helps me slightly!</p>
<p>Academic Performance
Complete your senior year program with the same high standards you have demonstrated thus far. You must complete the senior year classes listed on your application with at least a minimum overall unweighted B average and no grade lower than a C. Notify our office immediately of any significant drop in your grades, any D or F grades received, or any changes to your class schedule. </p>
<p>this is taken directly from the Provisions for Admission page included with my acceptance thing online. </p>
<p>ok so "a minimum overall unweighted B" converts to around an 83? but i heard otherwise from other sources in which said that students must maintain a 3.0 uv average. now, 83 is not a 3.0, it's a 2.8 or something. </p>
<p>so what's the deal, really</p>
<p>on a 100 pt system
90-100: A: 4 pts
80-89: B: 3pts
70-9: C: 2 pts</p>
<p>As long as you get an unweighted (no extra points for honors classes) B average (3.0) you're fine if you pass all your classes. So if you get 2 c's (4pts) and 3 a's (12 pts) your average is 16pts/5classes which is > 3.0. In other words, if your system is a regular 100 pt system, an 80 is equal to an 89, and an A in art is the same as an A in AP Calculus BC according to the process.</p>
<p>Umm... so is it okay if we have 3 C's...?</p>
<p>Otherwise I'm totally screwed.</p>
<p>PXalpine, you're really pushing it there. I believe the max is 2 C's (and 3.0 UW GPA obviously) to be safe.</p>
<p>Okay, so do grades of non-UC approved classes (like PE) count?</p>
<p>I think the website says that the 3.0 UW GPA should be of UC-approved classes.</p>
<p>Anyone at UCLA get in with one semester of sub-3.00?</p>
<p>I might have straight B's with 1 C to result with a 2.8UW average. But my first semester was a 3.5UW.</p>
<p>I wanna really know if the "combined overall GPA of 3.00" is really valid...</p>
