<p>a 2.8 unweighted 3.3 UC weigted GPA.. is that fine? or am i looking at being rescinded..</p>
<p>UCSD uses weighted. You don't have any D's or F's right?</p>
<p>You're looking moderately "safe" for everywhere but Berkeley.</p>
<p>yea no D's or F's.</p>
<p>You are fine. Don't let it slip any lower the second half of the year. Don't blow it now, you've worked too hard to let it all go now. :)</p>
<p>just to clarify, for the UCs that use 3.0 weighted GPA in senior yr (everyone except B/LA), how do they calculate it? is it just like UC GPA? and if so, can u weigh up to 4 honors/APs in senior yr alone?</p>
<p>^Honestly, if you're using up that many honors/AP extra points to stay afloat in senior year, you'd probably be jeopardized in the first place. UCLA's provisional contract wants you to report if you have more than 3 Cs per semester, so I would take 4 to be the maximum weighted semesters you get. Don't test their bottom line, they have 200,000 applications a year, and far too many people enrolled in the first place. Getting into college in no way justifies substandard academics senior year, and it gives a dangerous precedent for your first year (ie. why so many people have low first/second quarter grades in college)</p>
<p>well, i wanted to challenge myself and really learn some good material senior yr, particularly in the sciences
as well as get a good rhythm going into college, like adapting to workload</p>
<p>so do we get 4 senior classes weighted for the non-LA/B UCs?</p>
<p>but i do get your point peppers, good stuff</p>
<p>As far as I have been told (for all UC's excluding UCLA and UCB) it is just your overall weighted gpa (excluding non-academic classes). For UCLA it is your unweighted gpa averaged over the year and for UCB it is your unweighted gpa by semester.</p>
<p>so there's technically no limit to weighted classes, as long as they are AP/honors?</p>
<p>collegemom, </p>
<p>so for UCLA and UCB we need to maintain a 3.0 unweighted then correct?</p>
<p>Sports yes as far as I know no limit...</p>
<p>symphony, yes but for UCLA it is averaged over the whole year and for UCB it is averaged by the semester.</p>
<p>collegemom, where did you get this information. i talked to a ucla rep and she said 3.0 weighted. i have 2.6 unweighted and 3.6 weighted. 3 c's. how do you think that'll affect UCLA and CAl. what about UCSD?</p>
<p>It is 3.0 Unweighted for Cal per semester 3.0 unweighted senior yr for UCLA and wtd for all the rest.</p>
<p>where did you get this info senior mom... how do you know this for sure?</p>
<p>I got a 2.8 first semester my senior year too (had a D in AP Physics). Work really hard during second semester and you'll be alright... I'm here at UCSD right now as a first year, but I had to work my ass off during second semester to pull through. </p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
