So here's the thing.

<p>I just received Academic Renewal for a UC-transferable class back in the spring of 2008. How can I let the UC's know that I received AR for that class? I already filled on my application that I received a D. On the UC app update, it seems that there is nowhere to re-update previous semester grades other than fall 09.</p>

<p>Should I call each UC I applied to and tell them that I just recently received AR for the class? This is pretty important because my GPA bumps from 3.57 -> 3.74. Any and all advice would be awesome! Thanks.</p>

<p>oh wow…thats a big bump in your GPA! why don’t you call them at the admissions office and ask them what to do. i know you have fax them new information to be added to your app. the number is on their website. so call them, ask them exactly what to put on the fax and then do it. it is worth spending the time on hold with the admissions office in order to bump your GPA up. do it! good luck emil!</p>

<p>^I agree with sarah1984.</p>

<p>Love the advice and the enthusiasm! Thanks sarah, I’ll do that!</p>

<p>no srsly, that plus your great essays…you just put yourself in a whole other percentile!</p>

<p>haha thanks sarah, I really appreciate the feedback! I actually haven’t been able to call yet because I’ve been really busy this week, but I’ll call tomorrow…they are open Friday, right? Also, I don’t know exactly who to contact, but I was thinking of just calling Cal’s admissions office. Is there like a UC admissions application center or anything generic like that? If I have to, I’ll obviously call all the UC’s I applied to though lol.</p>

<p>I’m so pumped that my chances have gone up! Let’s be Bears sarah…or die trying… lol.</p>

<p>That’s not fair. If you can get AR on F’s/D’s why can’t I get AR on B’s? :)</p>

<p>lol ya know, I was just thinking about that. Not so much for B’s, but for C’s. In a really backward and almost shady way, I’m actually happy that I got 2 F’s and a D instead of 3 C’s…because if I had I would be stuck with those C’s and that GPA. It’s seriously weird that D’s and F’s can be suddenly erased from one’s GPA and C’s are what kill. Yes, yes I know that the UC’s do SEE the D and F’s, but with the AR attached (and since this was all in my first semester at my CCC), apparently these grades will hardly factor into their decision to admit me or not. It is a strange and quirky system, but I am thankful for it.</p>

<p>How do you get academic renewal???</p>

<p>I PMed you Lakerss, hope it helped! :)</p>
