Hi, everyone, I am currently a California community college (De Anza) student who has already submitted the transfer applications to UCs (all of them.) But I aim to get accepted in math major by UC Berkeley (I will choose to focus on pure math.) I am straight As in all my courses so far except one English class which I got a B+. However, this quarter I think I have messed up my MATH 1D class due to some unexpected issues. And the highest grade I can possibly reach is A- (If you want a A you can only loss 6 points in TOTAL) Since I am a math major transfer student, I really worry about if UC Berkeley will still consider me as a candidate for this major. Beside, I earned a 3.92 GPA so far in CCC, however, I have attended university oversea(I only studied for one year then dropped it) before and my grade is not that good as mine in CCC. (I really don’t know if they will transfer my credits or not from that university since it uses different grading system.) If UC transfers my credits from the university, my GPA may drop a lot (at least 0.1) And I also did tons of volunteer work based on environmental protection and renewable energy (I did because I think it is good for our Earth) 
such as solar panels installation and help grow food in green garden to provide health food to the residents in the community. I know it is nothing deal with math so I really wonder if they will just ignore this experience. Can anyone have a look to see if I am still in “good shape” for transferring to Berkeley math major?
Not a straight As in all Math course will be still possible be accepted by UC Berkeley as math major
Berkeley will not throw out an application because of one A- in a major related course. Relax, and get the best grades you can in that course from now on.
Hello, I got into UC Berkeley, and I got a C on my Calc IV class. People usually fear Cs because they think it’ll automatically lead to a rejection from their preferred University/College X. However, the cliche is true: grades are not the end-all-be-all deciding factor for admission; UC Berkeley utilizes a holistic approach.
My few Cs don’t explain my close involvement with the Lake Tahoe Community College’s student senate, both at the local and regional levels. I had As and Bs on most of my math classes, and I also took all the physics courses my college provided. I took high-level English courses to increase the breadth of my education, as well. In a way, I sort of triple-majored.
I know this post is a bit late, but I’m also replying to all people who share your anxiety.
