<p>Hey everyone, as my topic states, I'm worried about getting my admission revoked.
First semester I had a 3.88 GPA weighted, 2.88 Unweighted. The only thing is that my school does use +'s and -'s. Without them, I'd have a 3.0 GPA UW.<br>
I had a C, B- B- A B. Does this put me at risk of getting revoked?</p>

2

<p>at risk? YES!</p>

<p>you meet the cutoff, don’t go any lower.</p>

3

<p>I mean, do they take the -'s into account? If not then I have a solid B average</p>

4

<p>They do NOT use + and -. But it is UNWEIGHTED, each semester. You are fine. Just. Don’t screw up Spring semester.</p>

5

<p>Wait it’s unweighted?? Oh crap…</p>

6

<p>yes, unweighted. If it was weighted, people can get like 3 C’s or even more if they have lots of APs.</p>

7

<p>What am i going to do… I got a 2.888 first semester…</p>

8

<p>Contact them. I think they are OK as long as you get an overall unweighted 3.0 according to another thread I read</p>

9

<p>yeah, let them know asap so they won’t assume you’re “hiding” something from them.</p>

10

<p>If it was unweighted I could get straight C’s and still pull a 3.0. I’m slightly worried about this because I have really been slacking so far, but only in a few classes that I need to get up. And I’ve also heard they won’t automatically rescind you if you get under a 3.0 UW, but don’t count on it</p>

11

<p>Okay, thanks a lot guys. I’m going to ask for my transcript tomorrow then contact Cal.</p>

<p>masterhammy, 3.0 Unweighted is straight B’s, meaning that getting straight C’s would equal a 2.0</p>

14

<p>I’m going to call them tomorrow, and confirm everything.</p>

15

<p>I’m literally shaking and extremely nervous right now… I might get rescinded… Does anyone have any stories about this? I’m going to call tomorrow.</p>

16

<p>last year… i was scared i went to cal day and asked them they told me 3.0 overall unweighted…</p>

17

<p>Oh and do elective classes count towards the unweighted gpa?</p>

18

<p>Only the ones reported on the app count</p>

19

<p>yea
only those on a-g on app.</p>

<p>@kykla: Sorry, I meant if it was weighted I could get straight C’s because all my classes are weighted</p>
