<p>The UCLA Provisional Admission Contract states that we must complete the following condition:</p>
<p>"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>Does this mean an unweighted 3.0 for my entire senior year, or an unweighted 3.0 for each semeseter? Berkeley says that students must maintain a 3.0 for EACH term instead of the whole year, and since many rules and processes are the same throughout the UC system, does Berkeley's standard apply to UCLA as well? </p>
<p>If anyone could answer this question, and show how you know (credible source), that would be awesome. My first semester was excellent, but my grades for the second semester have been going down the crapper. :/</p>
<p>"Your total senior year unweighted GPA must be at a minimum overall B average and no grade lower than a C. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.</p>
<p>Thank you,</p>

<p>yea, i got straight As first semester so i only need straight Cs (cuz i cant get less than C at all and i have less classes so it'll be > 3 even w/ straight Cs</p>
<p>I asked the same exact question under the thread "GPA Requirement Question." Someone said you are not allowed to get more than 3 C's for the entire senior year, but they still haven't replied about where they got this info.</p>
<p>the 3 Cs are by semester, not by grading periods, right? my school has three 6 week grading periods that are averaged into each semester. i guess this shouldn't even matter because only the final semester grades appear on a transcript.</p>
<p>stop being slackers and just do your work. we all want to hit rock bottom but it's better to stay afloat just a bit...only a couple of months to go, might as well make ucla proud.</p>
<p>someone just told me that the 3.0 only applies to 2nd semester of senior year...i remember hearing this earlier in the year too. is this last year's requirements, or is this true? </p>
<p>if so, i'm screwed, since i was hoping my straight A's first semester would balance this semester's poor grades....</p>
<p>does UCLA calculate your senior gpa with ALL your courses--for example, marching band? though it isn't an approved A-G course, does it factor into the 3.0 average?</p>
<p>UCLA's website says something like "3.0 GPA for overall senior year courseload", which could be interpreted to be all courses + average GPA for both 1st and 2nd semesters. People are giving really mixed answers regarding senior year grades, so just try to maintain a safe 3.0 UW academic GPA.</p>
<p>my problem, i guess, would lie in the fact that i'm supposed to REPORT my grades if they fall below a 3.0 UW. that would be an important thing to be specific about, especially in borderline situations; and it's pretty likely that i'll find myself in a borderline situation.</p>
<p>all they see is your final transcript at the end of the semester, so if there's any interim drop in grades, they'll never know. don't go reporting your poor performance at the first sign of trouble....they're looking for excuses to take people off the waitlist. Don't give them a reason to.</p>
<p>The 3.0 confuses me so much...too many different responses.</p>
<p>I'm borderline right now, but I was definitely over 3.0 last semester. So now I'm just somewhat anxious about every single assignment, quiz, and test...I'm surprised they don't make some kind of distinction for people with lots of honors and AP classes, but whatever.</p>
<p>But I still have another question...I was looking through old threads about rescission, and someone posted that the myUCLA calculator does take in account +'s and -'s for GPA. Is this really true? I know that when I filled in the application, I didn't fill in +'s and -'s...</p>
<p>For the benefit of everyone, I emailed and got a response about the 3.0 GPA:</p>
<p>"Your total senior year unweighted GPA as a whole must be at a minimum overall B average and no grade lower than a C. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.</p>

<p>TOTAL senior year GPA. I thought some people asked and got a response specifically mentioning each semester had to be 3.0+?</p>
