am i still safe for UCI and UCSD?

with the recent gpa pushed to 3.5 for UCSD im currently worried that i might drop below a 3.5 once im done with all my remaining math and physics classes.

I have 2 more semester left @ a cc and i will be applying to tag this summer with a 3.57 to Computer game Science @ uci and Computer Science @ UCSD.

my last 2 semester will involve calc 2, 3, discrete, and linear algebra for math, and physics 185 and 285

If you end up with, say, a 3.49, you won't be guaranteed admission, but you'll still probably be safe for a major like computer science. It's not like you'll be competing against History majors who have an easier time getting a high GPA.

ur last 2 semester includes 3 different courses for math?
calc 2, calc 3, and linear algebra. (or is it 4 with discrete?)

O.o they let you take multiple *high level* math courses together?

You can take Linear Algebra with Calculus 2 and Discreet with Calc 3 although that is super rough good luck to you

I took linear with calc 3 + 1st semester physics and I'm taking diffeq, discrete, and 2nd semester physics together. It IS a good ass kicking. XD

yeah after calc2 i can take calc 3, linear, discrete all in one semester. UcSD prereq requires calc3, while uci only needs calc 2 and discrete+linear.
