Question about junior transfer

<p>THIS IS FOR JUNIOR XFER:
I read that some schools like UCLA for example want you to apply in November during soph. year, do they still keep looking at your grades?
because in 2 more quarters semesters, your GPA can drastically change
--> and how much emphasis is put on your GPA during the application period (Nov in this case)?
cuz you could have a 3.5 when you apply but a 4.0 by the end of the school year</p>

<p>Since Im at SJSU (Semester system) right now, I will only have 2 semesters,
and 1 summer quarter at CC and another Fall quarter at CC before transfer, which makes my 3.15 during 1st semester really bad (i have a 4.0 right now) and I have to get A's in every class after that 3.15 GPA from now on to have a shot at UCLA/USC/etc</p>

<p>am i getting this right?</p>

<p>Yes, you apply and then they always request your fall grades. Sometimes they request your winter grades, but I got my acceptances after turning in my fall grades.</p>
