UC’s do not use Freshman grades in their GPA calculation, only 10-11th grades: http://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/

UC’s will look at your Freshman grades to make sure passed any a-g course requirements. At the end of Junior year, you can calculate your UC GPA. 6 of the 9 campuses have average UC GPA’s above 4.0, so if you are in this range you stand a decent chance. Of course, you still need a competitive SAT/ACT, good EC’s and essays but GPA is very important to the UC’s. Yes, you can get into a UC, just keep working hard and come back next year with all your information.

Good Luck.
