<p>I have a 3.9 UC GPA right now, but with the way things are going in my classes right now (personal reasons), it looks like I'll only make at least a 3.0 this semester. I've read in places that UC's will rescind your application if you drop .5 of your GPA, but I've also heard otherwise.</p>
<p>Anyone care to shed some light on the GPA situation?</p>
<p>Generally it’s anything >= 3.0</p>
<p>3.0+ and no D/F grades. Also make sure you read your Provisional Admission Contract/Conditions of Admission. Occasionally some students receive specific stipulations for course completion/minimum GPA.</p>
<p>It depends, I’ve seen that only a 2.0 was required a lot too.</p>
<p>“I’ve read in places that UC’s will rescind your application if you drop .5 of your GPA”</p>
<p>Really? Which UC does that?? I’ve heard that somewhere too.</p>
<p>So say I get a D in a class, but get A’s in the other three, that’s still a 3.25… would I get rescinded just for that D in a class that doesn’t matter (no weight on IGETC or major pre-reqs)?</p>
<p>I’m so stressed… personal family circumstances may keep me from transferring ://</p>
<p>I’m not speaking for the admissions officers but if you do get a D, it will be unacceptable. You do not qualify for UC’s with any grades D or lower. But you should let them know that it was because of family circumstances. Sometimes they make exceptions.</p>
<p>Do the best you can. </p>
<p>The higher the better, but 3.0 is good enough. Of course, no Ds or Fs!</p>
<p>3.0 overall right?</p>
<p>@Dominic: semester GPA, 3.0 overall.</p>
<p>Help me understand this here, but what about the ucs that accept people with gpas under 3.0?
UC’s like Merced, Riverside, Santa cruz, and even certain majors (like women studies for example) in upper tier like Irvine and San Diego accept people each year with a 2.7-2.9 gpa. Certainly, they wouldn’t expect someone who they already accepted, and whose average best is a c+ to do above and beyond in their last semester just to maintain acceptance, right?
Cause if your a 2.8 student, getting a 3.0 would probably mean you’re going above and beyond what you’re used to.</p>
<p>FYI: I’m a 3.5 student, so this doesn’t apply to me, however, I have friends that aren’t the best students and I just want to be sure this is true.</p>
<p>Bumping. Someone please answer this, if you know if the 3.0gpa req is true. Thanks</p>
<p>What if I had an F, but retook the course and received an A? And now I GPA is a firm 3.37</p>
<p>@HeatherBecca, usually the “generic” Provisional Admission Contract/Conditions of Admission (the one that most students will get) will say something along the lines of maintaining your GPA. That is vague and most students will assume that if they had a 3.7 when applying to UCs, they must maintain a 3.7 to the bitter end. That’s where the 3.0 came from … generally you will need to maintain at least a 3.0 to **not **get kicked out (if you had a 3.8 and ended with a 3.0, you are fine). If you started out with a 2.8, then something like a 2.6+ or even a 2.5+ will probably do.</p>
<p>Again, there is no one uniform rule that applies to everyone. You have to read your Provisional Admission Contract/Conditions of Admission to see what special stipulations, if any, the UC imposes onto you.</p>
<p>@Jiansen, did the F occur before or after you applied to the UCs?</p>
<p>@MsSun</p>
<p>It was before. In fact, it was during my first quarter of college couple of years ago.</p>
<p>I need a 3.7 for UCI -_-</p>
