EDIT YOU CAN PROBABLY SKIP MOST OF THIS IF YOU READ BARTLEBY’S POST

a .83 GPA… if u had 6 classes would be 5 Ds and 1 F… difficult to attain it is considered legendary to some… but it is possible… seriously though…

i could understand situations where this is possible… your parents had a nasty divorce, you got into the wrong crowd, you’ve started to fix yourself up now and were able to get that 2.8 and that 3.3…

the thing is the only way for a UC to even consider you is if you put up something like a 2000 on your SATs keep that 720 in US and then pull a 740 on your Literature test the “lower UCs” will actually probably accept you… eligibility if you dont make the GPA cut off is here:

[UC Admissions](http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/freshman/exam_eligibility.html)

that is purely off of standardized tests if you wanted to gain admission… my SAT scores alone wouldnt gain me entrance into a UC even though my SAT is my selling point to most colleges (poor SAT scores for CC standards)

but to gain acceptance you really make them think it is not your fault while humbly accepting all fault
