Hello Everyone,
I got waitlisted at Berkeley and there’s a section in the waitlist acceptance form that asks for your first-semester senior grades (it’s optional). I took 6 AP classes and 1 regular class but my grades weren’t very good (I got 2 Bs) because distance learning has been hard for me. Before this, I had only gotten one B in my sophomore year, so this was a serious decline. Should I still include these grades? I’m worried if I don’t include them they’ll assume the worst, but if I do include them they might be too low for Berekely to accept me.
Yes you should. The committee just wanna make sure you pass their conditions of offer: no more than 2 C’s, no D and F. There’s no negative effect as long as you pass that. Do send it, otherwise they might think you did much worse than 2 B’s.
Thanks! I’ll send them in then
