<p>With that, my UC GPA was 4.06 by the end of my junior first semester. Now with my second semester grades put into place, I recalculated and found out its a 3.86!!! Is this right?</p>

<p>Yes, and a B here and there will not kill you</p>

<p>Err… 4.06 - 3.86 = 2.5?</p>

<p>oh yeah my bad. it went down .2. i was scared and wasnt thinking. </p>

<p>crap. there goes my shot at UCLA and UCSD. and i thought i had it. i guess its SDSU or UCI for me…</p>

<p>You get a couple B’s and a C and you assume SDSU?
…
You’re freaking out. Try your best, that’s all you can do.</p>

<p>yeah, it should be right.
UCs only give the extra point to 8 honors/AP classes.
so if you take, for example, 12 honors/AP classes, you still only get the extra point for 8 of those.
that’s what happened to me too.
<em>sigh</em></p>
