<p>I know this has been asked a lot but I really wanted to know the top most recent and reliable information, not the old searched thread topics. How important are senior grades to the top UC's mainly UCLA and Berk (and USC while I'm at it if anyone knows)? I have a 4.41 UC GPA on my application and I have high confident hopes that I'll make it at least into UCLA and/or Berkely but the problem is I might get my first ever C in calculus this semester. So if I have all APs but I have a single C on my transcript is that treading in really deep water for any of these schools? My senior grades will probably be 3 A's and 1 B and a C in calc totaling to a 3.4 unweighted GPA in 5 AP classes. How badly am I risking my admission to these 3 schools MAINLY UCLA if this happens. </p>

<p>Thanks guys.</p>

<p>UCLA specifically tells you to maintain a minimum of 3.0 unweighted GPA for senior year.</p>

<p>Shouldn’t matter at all for Berkeley and UCLA because they won’t have your first semester grades (for admission purposes). Just don’t get below a 3.0 unweighted for the whole year and then you can matriculate and not have admissions revoked. USC might hurt a little bit since they will get your first semester grades, but your GPA seems high enough thus far, so I doubt it will make any difference.</p>
