<p>I am applying to a buncha UC's with UCLA being my top choice. If I get in and decide to go, am I obligated to maintain a certain senior year GPA? From what I hear, you have to maintain a 3.0 UNWEIGHTED GPA your senior year; but at the same time, I was told that if your grades drop dramatically, you should be worried of being rescinded. Here's my scenario:</p>
<p>My sophomore and junior UC GPA comes to about a 3.96 (unweighted is around a 3.62). I am expecting my senior fall semester UNWEIGHTED to be around a 3.0-3.2 and senior spring semester to be around a 3.4. Should I be worried at all?</p>
<p>Dont worry, if you get accepted you are allowed to get up to 2 or 3 Cs senior year and still be safe. That doesnt mean you should meet your quota, just keep working through the year.</p>
<p>Whoever told you that is false. The admissions rep from UCLA who came to my school said you can NOT get Cs. If you do get one and you are accepted, you better have a good reason or they might take back your acceptance. You need to get at least a B in your classes.</p>
<p>you can get Cs… I had 2 senior year both in calc lol Just try not to get C-s, cuz someone told me ucla might count that as a D. my grade tanked senior year… if i remember correctly, it was something like 3.2 unweighted.</p>
<p>What sort of situation would make you drop anyway? Regardles of whether UCLA does anything or not, shouldn’t you care yourself what grades you get? Saying that it’s senior year and you want to have fun isn’t really a good excuse to use to allow your grades to drop.
UCLA just does not want your gpa to drop too extremely drastically, and like almost every UC campus, not below a 3.00 unweighted with D’s and F’s. Also, in the case that they send you a supplemental letter asking for more information (2 essays and first semester grades) you’d be in a worse position with C’s in senior grades, especially if it’s not in a rigorous senior year course schedule.</p>
<p>UC admissions base their acceptances on grades up to Junior year. Thats the important part. Your grades during that period will reflect where you get in. </p>
<p>Rypto misinterpreted the admissions rep; they may expect you to explain a D or F, in which case you will need to work something out with a contract. I received a C in Spanish my first semester in senior year, my first C in my entire high school career. I emailed UCLA admissions after they had accepted me and they told me it was fine.</p>
<p>Ah, I’m now a first-year at UCLA. Looking at this thread, I really wish that I slacked off more in my senior year of HS. I got all As in my senior year without any work, but I should have put in even LESS work! So enjoy your senior year. Think of it as a vacation. I sure wish I thought of it as a vacation! So, you’ll only feel regrets if you DON’T slack off.</p>
<p>After you have been accepted by either UCLA or CAL, you are required to maintain an unweighed GPA of 3.0 in your senior year. You can have 2 c’s ( you will have to explain the third one ) as long as you have a GPA of 3.0 , but no D or F. The other UC’s are not as strict and would consider a high SAT score to make up for the low grades ( 3 c’s, D, F) but you still need an unweighed GPA of 3.0 .</p>
