UC's standards for senior grades: how low is too low?

<p>I got admitted to UCLA, but I want to know what official gpa/grades a senior has to abide by to not be rejected? I tried searching the UCLA official website, but I couldn't find a section discussing this. I'm a little worried, because my fall semester grades were not high.</p>

<p>Anything lower than a 3.0 UNWEIGHTED will get your admission rescinded.</p>

<p>does anyone have a link from the ucla website talking about this?</p>

<p>3.0 the whole year ? or just like for one semster cuz last semeste ri got a 2.8 and now i tink i have a 3.8</p>

<p>It's 3.00 unweighted for the whole year.</p>

<p>o so im fine i guess ill get a 3.5 this semster?</p>

<p>what about three c's in one semester?</p>

<p>Actually, it is 3.0 unweighted EACH SEMESTER for UCLA and UC Berkeley. The rest of the UC's take the whole year into account. My friend has verified this information multiple times through direct phone calls to the schools.</p>

<p>ehh and for like Irvine and Davis?</p>

<p>@ #8</p>

<p>ive heard differently from multiple ucla students and the admissions office.</p>

<p>apparently they average the two semesters</p>

<p>Oh man I've been lazy this year. I better bring my grades up if I don't want to get rescinded by UCSB. I already got in through the Chancellor's invitation thing.</p>

<p>Just to repeat, but it's NO LOWER than a 3.0 unweighted and no grade lower than a C, according to UCLA's website</p>

<p>no lower than an unweighted 3.0 gpa with no grades lower than a C is right, but is that per semester or the gpa for the year?</p>

<p>Why not just play it safe, and obtain a >3.00 unweighted GPA for both semesters independently, instead of banking on assumptions? It appears that none of us is 100% sure whether UCLA requires an averaged cut-off or a per-semester cut-off, and the UCLA website is too ambiguous. Nevertheless, if you got admitted to UCLA you shouldn't have difficulty maintaining a >3.50 unweighted GPA in both semesters, let alone a meager >3.00 unweighted GPA in both semesters. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>lol flopsy. I think people bought too much into the whole concept of letting senior year slide right after applications.</p>

<p>either that, our our schedules are 100% ap courses, and the teachers are sadistic.</p>

<p>Alright, I just talked the the admissions office at UCLA.</p>

<p>The lady I talked to says that as long as I hold an average C grade, over a 2.0gpa, and you did not drop any courses as listed on your UCLA Application, then you would not have much to worry about. </p>

<p>I had 3 C's for Fall Semester senior year (3.27 weighted gpa) and she reassured me that my acceptance will not be rescinded.</p>

<p>I got into two UCs with less than a 3.0</p>

<p>hey i'm in the same situation as you whiteash....i was wondering what did the admissions office say exactly? did you still report it to them? what if you get lower than a 3.0 next semesteR?</p>

<p>umm i think you should report it anyways. just in case. because i only got one admission lady's opinion, and what she says was different than what the website says. But i asked several people, and ucla most likely wouldn't rescind students for c's, but for d's and f's. And your grade should be over a 3.0.</p>
