UC Berkeley application received

<p>I also received mine at around 4pm. Apparently we also need to update grades and classes for Berkeley.</p>

<p>I really wish Berkeley wouldn’t ask us to do this extra application-related stuff on their website. It seems like it will be a pain in the coming weeks.</p>

<p>@Cayton</p>

<p>It IS annoying.</p>

<p>@JYtransfer</p>

<p>That’s what I would do. My CC doesn’t do +/- grading either.</p>

<p>@JYtransfer and @Cayton</p>

<p>Wouldn’t that then lower your UCB GPA???</p>

<p>If you have A’s that are counted as 4.0’s and to UCB a 4.0 grade is considered an A+ a regular A equals a 3.7 so wouldn’t that affect you negatively?</p>

<p>Actually the UC’s count both an A+ and A as a 4.0
Only an A- hurts your chances, being counted as a 3.7</p>

<p>According to:</p>

<p>[Grade</a> and Credit Code Definitions - Office Of The Registrar](<a href=“http://registrar.berkeley.edu/gradeskey.html]Grade”>http://registrar.berkeley.edu/gradeskey.html)</p>

<p>^ if they got B+s it would help them.</p>

<p>It says B’s are counted the same, 3.0</p>

<p>Guys, Seeing that the CCC are the biggest feeder to the UC system. I can guarantee that they know which CC’s are +/- and which aren’t. If you put a plus grade, I’m pretty sure once they look at your current school they will make adjustments.</p>

<p>Just a thought.</p>

<p>marcuscolon-My d had the same question about science and lab–she put both course names down Physical Geology 101 & 101L and indicated 4 units (3 +1)…hope that is correct!!</p>

<p>I’m a little peeved they’re making us enter all of this info yet again.</p>

<p>@SockherMom</p>

<p>Thanks. I did the same thing, putting both theoretical and lab courses. Hope WE are right :)</p>

<p>@Snorlaz</p>

<p>Yeah, same here. Makes me not want to go to Berkeley. :P</p>
