Just checked, Daughter got accepted. Weighted UC GPA (10th + 11th)= 3.38, 1530 SAT, EC activities nothing spectacular - just typical. Desired major was neuroscience and she was lucky enough to get accepted at UCLA, UCSD and UCB, her top 3 choices. Now comes the really tough part, deciding which of these is the best fit given she wants to eventually do an MD-PhD.
@GrumpyOldEngr the world is now right again! A big Bear is better than a little bear lolā¦
Acceptance packages come about a week or two later, IIRC.
Hi Bears ā¦ is anyoneās financial aid up?

@collegebound2023 UCSC is a great school. I have been there. Personally, itās one of the best campuses, and Santa Cruz is one of the most beautiful towns. I donāt know what your intended major is, but if itās CS, a lot of opportunities thereā¦

@ProfessorPlum168 I just got into Berkeley! Itās my number 1 school and am 100% going to attend. However, I have been struggling in one of my AP science class. I received a C last semester.
And I am pretty sure I will get a C again this semester. I tried hard and studied but the results just donāt seem to match with my work.
Donāt worry! I am NOT going into the STEM field at Cal haha.
Last semester my grades were āa, a, b, b, c, a, aā and I am afraid it will be my grades for this semester as well. I have been working hard but these teachers and classes just have not been smooth for me.
Although I was cheering and crying earlier, I am scared I will get rescindedā¦? What are my chances of getting rescinded?
@musiciangoaler you should be fine. I think you need 2 Cs in any one semester before the university bats an eye. You need a minimum 3.0 unweighted GPA in both semesters in 12th grade.
I got accepted to UC Berkeley and UC Merced, got waitlisted by UCSC and UCI, and I got rejected by UCLA and UCSD. My stats are not the best, but my essays were extremely amazing!! I got admitted to UC Berkeleyās college of Letters and Science as a Biology (Public health) major. If any future applicants get a request for letters of recommendation, please ask 2 people you are super close with to write them for you because I feel that the letters, along with my essays, were what got me admitted. This year I am taking only AP courses. I also do not have any amazing extracurricular activities like other applicants did. I am just an average student. Let this show future applicants that you still have a chance, if you explain your passion for something!
GPA:3.9
ACT:22
I think they only rescind accepted students that receive an F or D-, basically anything lower than a C-. Donāt stress out!! You should be celebrating! You have accomplished something amazing!!!
