So I was accepted to UC Berkeley and UC Irvine and im now caught in a slight dillema. UC Berkeley requires atleast a 3.0 u/w or your pretty much getting revoked no matter what (appealing is almost impossible to reverse from what I have read). Im taking 5 AP classes and currently do have a 3.0 u/w with an A in AP calc, B+ in AP bio/AP Lit/ AP Econ, and a C in physics B which I might not be able to bring up. Our grading period for these ap classes is set to end in about 2-3 weeks since our grades don’t change much after the AP test. Although the change in my grades has only been drastic in AP physics, im currently super scared of falling under a 3.0 u/w.

Im not sure if this is allowed and it is something that I was hoping I could get an answer for and want to make sure is allowed since my counselor has stated the situation as being allowed. I was given advice to SIR to UC Berkeley and UCI and wait for my grades to be finalized and accordingly cancel the SIR to the school’s conditions of agreement I dont meet. Berkeley has always been my dream school, but I am afraid that if I only SIR to uc berkeley and something goes wrong during finals and I do fall under a 3.0, I would have to go to cc and lose my gates millenium scholarship.
