<p>I've applied to UC and updated my Fall2011 grades in January. Currently, it is my Spring2012 semester, which is my LAST semester at community college. For my Spring 2012 classes, can I just get a C in all the classes? Or I have to maintain a specific GPA for Spring2012?</p>
<p>(I've got some hard classes in my Spring2012 semester. I can pass all my classes but I may not get a B or higher for all my classes. My GPA up to Fall2011 is 3.9x.)</p>
<p>Some UCs want above a 3.0…a 2.0 would almost certainly be a problem</p>
<p>You mean 3.0 only for the Spring 2012 semester? Not the cumulative GPA, right?</p>
<p>Yeah, spring semester/quarter. Ive heard that most UCs recommend a 3.0, and that they usually only care if there is a strong drop off in GPA. If you can explain it, it isn’t a problem. But they probably will ask if the drop is really extreme.</p>
<p>When you get accepted to a UC they will provide you with some conditions of acceptance, one of which will be what GPA you need to maintain for the spring semester. For most people it’s going to be 3.0, but the condition can be highly personalized and require a higher or lower GPA (relative to 3.0).</p>
<p>what if I got a C in only one class? but my gpa was still a 3.0?</p>
<p>^ If they tell you to maintain a 3.0, then however you get a 3.0 doesn’t matter.</p>
<p>Last year, Berkeley told me to maintain a 3.0 gpa meaning you have to get a 3.0 + higher in the semester. So if you’re taking one class and you got a C, that means you have a 2.0 and you have breached the contract.</p>
<p>i’m taking four classes, but spanish two is kicking my ass and i would be grateful to get at least a C in it. So I was just wondering if that’s going to be a problem but I should do fine in my other classes.</p>
<p>Shouldn’t matter, as long as you have over >3.0. Depends on what your school wants though really. If they state specifically what they want your gpa to be at during the semester you must pass that threshold.</p>
<p>What if you take all your classes in Spring with Pass/No Pass?</p>
<p>What if you are on the quarter system? If I get into a UC will the contract pertain to Spring quarter only or Winter and Spring combined?</p>
<p>If one should take only one class for a letter grade and get a B- or lower for the Winter quarter, will this likely breach the contract?</p>
<p>crash a fast track class. maybe an online one? i hear they’re easy As.</p>
<p>What’s scary is that I’ve read threads on here of people who got contracts stating they had to get a 4.0 their last semester. Talk about pressure.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if it looks bad to have only the minimum amount of units done for junior transfer or does it look better to have a bit above the minimum amt of units required?</p>
<p>^ It doesn’t look bad having exactly 60 units compared to having like 64, as long as you are 60-90 then UC’s don’t care. It would be nice to be a bit above in case one of your classes doesn’t transfer for some strange reason which might make you >60 units. Other than that I see no benefit of being above 60.</p>
