<p>Hey guys! I was admitted to UCI as a freshman for fall 2011, and I am currently a senior in High School.</p>
<p>I'm not taking any AP's or Honors, and for my first semester senior GPA, I got a 2.4, This semester, I'm probably going to get a 2.5-2.6 this semester. Will I get rescinded? I won't make any D's. It's mostly going to be C's. Will I get rescinded?</p>
<p>Has anyone ever gotten a lower than 3.0 weighted and unweighted GPA senior year and still be able to get into a UC they got accepted to?</p>
<p>I believe you will be rescinded because your GPA is so low. Read the Provisional Admission Contract. Call them and explain yourself if you have a good reason to. Don’t sign the SIR if you haven’t already. You don’t want to pay fee’s that you might not get back. I don’t want to sound mean, but if you’re getting 2.X GPA in your senior year of high school, you probably won’t survive the UCI curriculum. It also looks kind of bad that you did so poorly in non-honors/AP courses. I can imagine that you would still be accepted if you are living with extreme difficulties that resulted in these grades but I am no admissions officer. Uh, in my opinion, your best bet would be to try to get all A’s this semester since the rule applies to your entire senior year GPA. Did the semester not just begin? How do you know you will definitely get that GPA already? Just try to work harder. </p>
<p>fudgcicles! Already did the SIR thing. Danggg, if I get rescinded that would suck, guess CC it is. Dammit, what a disappointment. It’s because my mom is unemployed, and I had work under the table at a local restaurant to help my mom. CC is a cheaper option anyway, just didn’t want to disappoint my mom.</p>
<p>Have you notified them already? They can’t rescind until they know the situation.</p>
<p>I would notify them ASAP. The earlier you notify them, the more opportunities you have to either make a provision (i.e. get a 3.5 in your second semester and you’re fine) or for you to make other plans if they decide to rescind their decision.</p>
<p>So I talked to my college and career counselor about the 3.0 requirement. I told her I wasn’t getting and D’s or F’s, just C’s and B’s. She told me that the contract states to “MAINTAIN” a weighted 3.0 senior year.</p>
<p>So, my counselor had me bring a dictionary to her and look up the word Maintain. So i look it up and it is defined as: Keep (something) at the same level or rate, or Cause or enable (a condition or state of affairs) to “continue.”</p>
<p>Now, she tells me that if UCI speaks the English language that we all understand, then to MAINTAIN a 3.0 in our senior year would mean we would have to start with a 3.0 to keep hat up. Where do we start with the 3.0? It comes from our UC eligibility, where, when we applied to the UCs, we had a minimum of 3.0(+).</p>
<p>To sum it up, what my counselor tells me is that the UC’s factor in your 10th, 11th, and 12th grade weighted GPA and if it doesn’t fall below 3.0, you are fine. Apparently, the UCs are trying to play mind games with us, making us feel that the 3.0 was required for the senior year ONLY.</p>
<p>I personally don’t know if this is true or not, but my college counselor told me she had talked to the admissions EVALUATOR, mind you, not the admissions officer working the front desk, whose job is solely to answer you factually. She was able to get a lot of info and shared me with me that around 85% of seniors in our school who had a lower than 3.0 weighted for both semesters combined, still got in the UC they were accepted to. I guess the other 15% fell under 3.0 even with 10+11 grades factored in.</p>
<p>I’m not sure if that’s true, since I know someone who was rescinded (from UCSD) because he got a D in a class, even though he maintained over a 3.0 weighted GPA.</p>
<p>Don’t mean to take over, but what if you accidently forget to add a feew classes in the transcripts? I wasn’t purposely trying to do it. however, one of the classes i failed to mention was a C grade(non a-g though) The rest were As and Bs…mostly As. didn’t put in P.E also.</p>
<p>@ Popped, I’m talking strictly 3.0 policy, the D policy still stands on it’s own.</p>
<p>@ Caccophonus, I sent a message, but I think the Counselor misinterpreted me, because she sent back a message saying, “MAINTAIN a 3.0 for both semesters combined for senior year, or your admissions will be withdrawn.” Again, note the word “maintain.”</p>
<p>@ amigos, I don’t thin non a-g courses matter, but it would never hurt to seek your counselor for further information on what you can do if it did matter. OR call admissions right NOW and take action. If it did matter and you ignore it, then you will definitely face the consequences. So, the next time you go to school, ask your counselor first, figure out your options, and then plan ahead. I’m pretty sure the UC’s will be forgiving if you are proactive about your mistakes. Many people just kick it to the side and end up getting rescinded because they never cared.</p>
<p>And when they state one must maintain a 3.0 senior year gpa, i come with the assumption that is only including senior year only. Because if they wanted to keep it simple, they could have just said…one must maintain a 3.0 gpa(when including other years). But they specified senior year ya know</p>
<p>sorry for the late post amigos, the reason I think they mention the “senior year” thing is because the take into account BOTH semester combined.</p>
<p>Example would be like…
soph semester 1 - 3.5 semester 2 - 3.5
junior semester 1 - 3.5 semester 2 - 3.5
SENIOR year COMBINED semesters - 2.5</p>
<p>alright man…I wasn’t trying to put you down or anything just didn’t want you too reassured with the situation because of what your counselor said to you. There is still time to bring your grade up, thats the main put im trying to get across. I don’t want them to rescind your acceptence nor do i think you deserve it judging from your reasoning behind your grades…but if you work hard the rest of the semesters and possibly talk with your teachers then maybe that will work out better for you. Instead of you know getting advice from someone who could be wrong such as me or your counselor.</p>
