Help I’m nervous. I’m ending senior year with these grades:
Econ - C
Pre-Cal - C
Choir: A
AP Lit: B
Yearbook: Not yet entered (but probably A)
Physics: C- (but I still have a chance to raise my grade).
My grades from before were As and Bs but during my second semester, something happened and I suffered from really bad depression and gave up. I’m nervous I’ll get my acceptance revoked and I really don’t want that. Do you think I’ll be alright or should I contact admissions and explain the circumstances. I’m really anxious !!!
From the UCSC provisional contract::::::::::::::::::::
- Earn a level of academic achievement in your fall and spring courses (as you listed on your UC application) consistent with your previous coursework. Earn a grade of C or higher in those courses (or equivalent for other grading systems).
If you have already earned a grade of D or F (or equivalent for other grading systems) in your senior year (fall or spring), or if your overall GPA in your senior year is not consistent (within a grade point) with your previous academic performance, you have not met this condition of your admission.
FAQ 1A: My contract indicates “Earn a level of academic achievement in your fall and spring courses consistent with your previous coursework, with no grade lower than a C (or equivalent for other grading systems).” What do you mean by “consistent?”
Answer 1A: We expect that the grades you will earn in your senior year will look similar to the grades you earned in the first three years of your high school career; for instance, if you were a straight-A student for three years, we would expect A’s in your senior year. Consistency in your level of achievement must be carried through your senior year coursework.

So what was your UC GPA at the time of application vs. now? If unsure about your status, contact UCSC admissions directly and see what they say since they will be the ones to determine if you meet all the provisional admission criteria.
