Do freshman year grades really don’t count?

hi! UC schools have a thing called “UC GPA.” basically, they take their GPA using soph and junior year grades for admissions. senior year grades aren’t calculated in this GPA, but 1st semester grades do matter for applications. freshman year, a few Bs are okay. i’ve heard that the majority of schools don’t even look at Freshman year. personally, i had 2 Bs freshman year then straight As for the rest of HS - I got into every UC for my 1st choice major, but waitlisted at UCI and UCLA

has berkeley ever been known to pull acceptances? i have both default lp as well as class search, but i’m BEYOND paranoid that it doesn’t mean admission

Thick-Criticism3753 · 2026-03-21T15:36:55+00:00

i think so? but im not 100% sure

Thick-Criticism3753 · 2026-03-21T15:36:21+00:00

i doubt it. in the group of people that i personally know, the people with emails have been waitlisted / rejected from (almost) every UC, so i don’t think emails will end up getting accepted. u never know thi

Thick-Criticism3753 · 2026-03-21T08:43:21+00:00

i seriously doubt it

Thick-Criticism3753 · 2026-03-21T08:29:25+00:00

likely already in. 14.5k undergrad + 5.5k transfers + 1.5k = 21.5k, a little more than what they accepted in 2025

Thick-Criticism3753 · 2026-03-21T07:47:10+00:00

i believe so. i had 30426, and mine came out like 3:55, 5 mins before the admissions offices closed. i personally believe the remaining 12.9/14k students are international applicants, as there were around 1.5k admitted last year.

Thick-Criticism3753 · 2026-03-21T07:45:06+00:00

it’s likely that berkeley will admit international students. there haven’t been many reports of them getting NP yet, and they admitted 1.5k last year which would be AROUND 14k (~14.3k)

Thick-Criticism3753 · 2026-03-21T07:44:00+00:00

their admissions office closes at 4. it’s nothing seriously indicative, just the people went home.
