Hi everyone,
I am a transfer student and I got accepted off of the waitlist a couple of days ago. After reading my terms of condition, I meet all of them except:
“I understand that I must complete all UC transferable courses that were self-reported in my application with a minimum term and overall 3.0 GPA, and no grade lower than a B- for any individual course.”
During the fall, I received all A’s. However, during my last semester before transfer, I received all A’s and one C.
My Spring 2018 GPA is 3.4 and my overall GPA is 3.8. I have already emailed my admissions officer about this situation, but I am afraid I will not get an answer by my SIR date, which is 6/14.
Do you think my admission will be evoked since my condition states that I cannot receive a grade lower than a B?
Please let me know, thanks so much!

There’s no way for anyone to tell. It could go either way. If you do not hear back by the deadline you have the option of SIRing to Berkeley and waiting to hear the outcome. They do allow double SIRs in these cases. Then when you hear, get rid of one of them. You will lose the deposit, however.
@Ohm888 Thank you for replying! Should I explain myself on the update form? The only option I could check off is if my GPA is below 3.0, but my GPA is higher than 3.0. Is my situation under that same category?
I had a medical issues during finals, I checked the part about the 3.0 GPA minimum, along with my medical documents I submitted my exams from the classes showing I was doing well up to finals. Just be very detailed on the sections of the update form and keep emailing your admissions counselor!
@ughstress You see, I don’t really have a solid reason as to why I received a C, but other than I got a terrible professor. All my admission officer told me was to utilize the update form. Should I keep emailing her?
Congratulations on your admission. @viviantong . We are in the same predicament with one of our Seniors that has already been accepted. Her Fall report card 4 As one B and one C in Pre Cal Honors. She got accepted with that. However second semester got more challenging in Pre Cal Honors. She had already finished her A-G courses and had satisfied requirements. However she wanted to challenge herself with Pre Cal Honors. Unfortunately she finished her school year with a D in Pre-Cal Honors, the available help was more difficult to find second semester. Her mother could not afford a tutor. She maintained her grades up in the other subjects. Her overall GPA 3.8
Her intended major is Film Studies. She is writing a letter and we are all praying for good news
