<p>I got in with a 3.84 UC GPA and i'm just wondering what GPA i have to maintain for the rest of my senior year? I've heard 3.0 unweighted but I really don't know. Anyone got an idea?</p>
<p>I say you should try to keep up with your 3.8 UC gpa. If the number suddenly falls to a 3.0, you might look like you’re just being lazy. Either way, if your grades dramatically slip, I think you should contact SC admissions to tell them what’s up.</p>
<p>Just keep a 3.0 weighted overall and don’t get anything less than a C. Otherwise, you are fine.</p>
<p>I believe one of the conditions of admission is “Earn a level of academic achievement in your fall and spring courses consistent with your previous course work, with no grade lower than a C.”</p>
<p>I would maintain your 3.8 GPA.</p>
<p>Honestly most kids get senioritis and the colleges know that. They aren’t really expecting you to have a 4.0. Just don’t get anything below a C and you will be fine, colleges aren’t going to revoke your acceptance just because you seem “lazy”. That’s just ridiculous. Decide for yourself which parts of your classes are more important in your overall education. Some of the stuff they teach you senior year is just a waste of time.</p>
<p>I dunno, if I accepted a 3.8 student who suddenly started dropping his grades to 3.0s after he got admitted, /I/ would start wondering. Two people say to maintain a C or better though, so I guess norcal, there’s your answer. : )</p>
<p>I was a littled worried about maintaining my grades as well because I got in with a 3.8 something as well. But for my senior year I’m taking 3 college classes at a local JC. Since, I’m taking less classes getting all B’s would be lower my GPA than say having another 2 classes that I could cushion it with. So, I’m trying super hard to get A’s in my classes. Should I be worried or does the fact that they are college classes give me a little leeway?</p>
<p>Seriously, no one gets rescinded for receiving a single C in a class, or earning a 3.1 overall instead of a 3.8. You only need to worry if you get a D in a class, or if you receive <3.0 cumulative. Keep working hard your senior year, but don’t worry about it too much. You got into college, almost everyone drops their GPA a little bit.</p>
<p>So, my transfer GPA was 3.54, and my new UCSC GPA (since I just finished my first quarter there) is 3.53. :)</p>
<p>The colleges don’t pay that much attention to the couple thousand ppl they’ve already admitted. They scan everyone’s transcripts in the mid-summer to make sure no one’s gotten a D or lower. Anyone who tells you that they will rescind your application for having “lower grades” is wrong. They honestly don’t care. I know people that even ended up getting a D in something and the colleges didn’t even notice. (Not that i’m advocating to get a D, this just happened by chance). So don’t sweat senior year grades.</p>
