<p>Hey everyone I received my provisional admission from Irvine and it seems too good to be true. A 2.0 GPA and complete 60 units. My provisional admission for UCSB required a 3.0 GPA (with no grade lower than a "C") and completing 60 units. Are all provisional admissions at Irvine so "easy" or did other people get different conditions?</p>

<p>The 2.0 GPA is for your last term (last semester, last quarter), whereas the 3.0 is overall GPA.</p>

<p>I understand that, just curious why it was so low, compared to UCSB that is.</p>

<p>It depends, here I’ll break it down for you:</p>

<p>With UCSB, you can score below 2.0 GPA for your spring semester, but as long as your overall GPA is above 3.0, then you’re set.</p>

<p>With UCI–even if your GPA is above 3.0–if you score below 2.0 GPA during your spring semester then they can rescind their offer for your admission.</p>

<p>Which sounds worse now?</p>

<p>They are both referring to spring semester, UCSB is requiring a higher GPA, it made me feel as if I was more of a borderline applicant at UCSB as opposed to a shoe in a Irvine. </p>

6

<p>At this point I think I could have a 0.0 GPA my last semester and still have a cumm GPA above 3.0</p>

<p>“They are both referring to spring semester”</p>

<p>Are you sure? Because, from where I am reading it from, it says 3.0 overall GPA.

<p>Or I guess I am reading it wrong? Bleh, I guess they changed it since last time.</p>
