Hi everyone, I am working on my University of California application and I am looking for a little guidance in the Academic History section. It prompts you to report the classes and grades from your senior year, but my senior year is just beginning and won’t have received any grades before the November 30 deadline. I am just wondering how much I am expected to report, because I don’t have much to offer yet. Thank you for any suggestions or help!
I would ask your counselor how your school handles it. Our school sends out grade reports after first semester to all the schools you sent a transcript to which because we start so late is later than most schools want it like mid Feb but they know our big county is just like that. But they will want to know what you are taking senior year.
They don’t usually consider senior year grades. They don’t even ask for an official transcript until you are accepted
Senior grades will be used to maintain your provisional admission and make sure you complete your a-g course requirements. If you are a borderline applicant, the UC’s may send you a supplemental which may require you to submit Mid-year grades. For the majority of applicants, acceptances will based on the 10-11th grades.
You report your in-progress and planned senior year courses.
If you are admitted to and choose to enroll in a UC, you will send your final high school transcript, which will be used to verify your self-reported courses and grades, and verify that you did sufficiently well in your senior year courses.
This won’t be the first time your guidance counselor has come across this.
Make an appointment to speak to him/her tomorrow.
Ok, thank you all for the info!
